Women marry men
hoping they will change.
Men marry women hoping they will not.

Yes, there are plenty of fish out there! Yet bliss can be found with one–or with one at a time. 😉 Now, will someone please hand us some handy tools for navigating the dynamics of commitment? In celebration of the end of this fabulous summer, some book recommendations for healthy relationships by Huffington Post’s Dr. Nikki Martinez:

Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum. Should you stay or should you go?

When The Past is Present by David Richo. How do you understand the different places where you and your spouse are coming from in navigating your relationship?
I Love You But I Don’t Trust You by Mira Kirshenbaum. Be it daily dishonesties or a monumental betrayal, how can you heal and build trust again?
Love, Sex and Staying Warm by Neil Rosenthal. How do you keep good old comfy relationships from going totally ho-hum?

I returned today from a trip to the Eastern US seeing one of my “one at a times”. It was also fun to see a place I had never been and it was so green!!! Something we miss in many parts of the west. Sorry to report I did not open a single book, I was winging it!! 😉
Although I love this Goddess’s amazing smile in photo three my favorite is four because I always find so much in reflections whether in a mirror, object or ourselves.
