It is clear from divorce statistics that people are not learning from their mistakes as they enter into new relationships. I have talked to hundreds of people about their relationships and marriages. Most of them did not realize they were making a mistake until well after they were married or in a dead end relationship for several years. Almost all of them ignored the red flags of a mediocre relationship that were present usually in the first 30 days of dating. The idea is to not have to fix a poor or broken relationship/marriage. It is to make better decisions up front about the people you date and not settle for anything less than extraordinary in your next relationship.(less)

As I have studied people and relationships over the years, I have come to understand that toxic relationsh Read more of this blog post »
