Your Kids Shouldn’t Be a Priority Over Your Spouse
A lot of people make the mistake of telling their spouses or significant other that their kids are their first priority, even over them. In a lot of ways this is a misguided and dangerous position to take, not just for your marriage or relationship, but for your kids as well.
Kids are not your property, they do not belong to you and never will. From a legal standpoint you are their guardian guiding them through life and making decisions that they are not “old enough” to make. From a religious or spiritual standpoint you did nothing more than serve as a gateway to bring a new life to this planet. Read more…

Every Relationship is Full of Control – Understanding Passive Control
Passive Control

If Active Control can be defined as a person in a relationship setting rules and boundaries as to what the other person can or cannot do by direct order or by direct obstruction to try and prevent that other person from doing what they want, then passive control is the opposite. Read more…
