How many of you have been through a divorce?
How many of you have been through a divorce that took years?
How many of you were separated for years before your divorce, and then you had to go through everything all over again?
I've called this process the resurrection of a vampire. Read more
My big goal when working with most of my clients is to get them happily married. I have a very high success rate and spend a lot of Saturday nights dancing at my clients’ weddings. It’s really fun! That being said, marriage isn’t in the cards for everyone. Or, it isn’t in the cards right now for everyone. I’m 54 years old and I’ve never been married. I know my soul mate man is out there and I’m learning a lot of lessons on my journey to meet him. But, until then, I’m single and unmarried and actually very, very happy. So, I wanted to write Read more
One of my closest friends recently confessed to me that she and her husband are having problems. Or, more specifically, she’s having problems with him. I was really touched that she told me. Married people have so much pressure on them to paint a perfect picture of their marriage and pretend like they’re always 100% happy in their partnership. Here’s the real talk on marriage, though: No one’s 100% happy. Marriage is a lot of compromise and struggle and you just have to hope that the good outweighs the bad. And there will be some days, week or maybe even years when the bad feels heavier than the good, but hopefully long-term, you can switch those scales. I just think we need to discuss this a bit more so people don’t panic when they find themselves in a tough spot with their spouse and feel like their marriage is a total failure. That doesn’t mean that your marriage is a failure. That means your marriage is a marriage. Anyway, my friend told me that her husband was being really selfish and that she didn’t know what to do. I’m going to share with you all the advice I told her, just in case it’s helpful to anyone out there.

It has been exactly 34 days since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at the Palace of Versailles in France, followed by a glamorous reception in Florence, Italy – and everyone is wondering (don’t pretend you’re not) … will this one last?
Or will it at the very least last longer than her 72-day marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries – a complete embarrassment for all involved, including the 10.5 million people who watched the wedding special on VH1. If only I could get those four hours of my life back. Read more
My guess is that both friends and dating columnists have warned you to steer clear of guys who are “on the rebound.”
Well, get ready for the curve ball that I am about to throw your way. In my experience, this is not always advice you should follow!
I strongly believe that if you are talking about a man who is a relationship-oriented guy (meaning he is most comfortable being in a partnership and knows how to be a committed boyfriend/partner) he is not going to stay single for very long after a break up. If you don’t snap him up fast, someone else will. That great guy will be off the market before you can even bat an eyelash. Why would you steer clear of such a winner just because he recently broke up with someone? Read more
Welp, the impossible has happened. America’s favorite bachelor is officially tying the knot. That’s right. The mayor of Swoontown, George Clooney, proposed to his girlfriend Amal Alamuddin. And let me tell you, she’s an eleven. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s smart and an activist. Beauty, brains and class—what a triple threat! As fabulous as Amal clearly is, I think every woman in the world is wondering how she turned the ultimate player into a stayer. Well, I know how and I’ll tell you. Here we go. Read more
