Kim Kardashian on SNL
What did you think about #KimKardashian on #SNL last night? As a relationship therapist, my thought was... cringe. You should always talk about your loved ones in a positive light, ESPECIALLY when you're in public.

Take a deep breath, go for a walk, then reboot and add a "yet" to the end of your sentences. I don't get it YET. I can't do it YET. You can do it, and you will... be patient with yourself. Have a great week! XO

It's important to have FUN with your partner and if you don't have anything fun to talk about, I recommend playing a game. One we love is to pick a category (animals) and a letter (M) and to take turns coming up with animals that start with the letter M until we can't think of any else. Try it, I promise you'll laugh at least once!
