Are you sabotaging your love life?
Statistics show that 85 percent of single women can’t wait to get married– but do they really want the whole package? We already know that women have vastly different expectations of marriage than men do so it should be no surprise that men don’t always live up to those expectations. Throughout the phases of marriage, however, many things can change.
As many as 70 percent of wives express unhappiness and dissatisfaction in their marriages over time– which is a pretty big number. Is that just part of the natural cycle that marriages go through, or does it signal a larger issue? When women are dissatisfied, what do they do about it?
This episode, our guest has the answers to these questions and can help explain why couples experience these cycles. She also has some tips on marriage– how to make it, break it or keep it. Susan Shapiro Barash is the author of 13 books, including The Nine Phases of Marriage. Susan teaches gender studies at Marymount Manhattan College and helps women understand the issues they face during marriage.

Is it possible for a woman’s “feminine wiles” to conquer a battle of the sexes?
Relationships today are far different than they were a hundred, 50 and even 20 years ago. Our society has evolved so much in the past several decades that traditional gender roles – those that had been assumed since the dawn of time – have been all but discarded. With new roles for both men and women, new challenges keep cropping up.
We all know there are big biological and emotional differences between the sexes, which can cause relationship problems on their own – but what about the battle of the sexes? We hear about the battle of the sexes in the workplace, but we don’t really consider whether it overflows into personal lives. Does it have an impact on the ways men and women interact with each other, their relationship choices and ultimately, our society?
Who better to answer those questions than Kongit Farrell, a strategic life and relationship coach. She worked at Pacific Clinics for four years as a mental health therapist for clients with severe and persistent mental illness. Kongit is the author of She’s Worth the Chase: 10 Qualities Gamma Males Adore in the Women they Pursue and Marry and currently devotes her time to building her practice in Los Angeles.

Is your overprotective parenting hurting your child and damaging your marriage? Before we had government agencies in place to advise us on what was good or dangerous for us, we only had one way of finding out this information…through first hand experience. Bumps, scrapes and broken hearts were all part of the novelty that is childhood. However, like anything else, with enough information this has gone away. It seems like parents today want to protect their children from the ails of the world and prevent them from experiencing any of it. This “over parenting” could be harming your child more than helping them. Does your marriage have what it takes to overcome this?
