I think your topics are interesting and overall, you give good advice. The one thing I would change is the guest speaker. While she is very nice and pleasant, I do not buy her advices (for reasons I won't get into. Let's just say I'm a psych grad student and find flaws in her theories). How about mixing up the guest speakers? Keep up the good work! :)

Hi thanks for the feedback. We typically film 5-10 videos with each guest...

why are you drinking windex?

[DanAndJenn]

Well, it was either that or Blue Raspberry martinis... sometimes it's a toss up. :-)

No mention that relationships are maintained on a voluntary basis. Sometimes people get selfish or lazy and forget relationships are between "two" people, and unless "both" people are happy & satisfied, it won't last.

If people neglect affection, caring, communication, love, sex, tenderness, and thoughtfulness, don't act shocked when the other person wants out. Also, don't act shocked when one person is insecure & needs to control or punish the other. That's really why people leave & want out.

My girlfriend almost kicked me out over my panic. We talked and now things are better than ever. You really want love it is a constant never ending fight but can be a good fight if you let it. I don't know sometimes I would rather just be single so I don't have to fight for it and just keep other things into perspective like my kids future, work, and bills. It is hard when you got so much going on and on top of that try to keep a realtionship intact just because you are going through stress.

Actually I would ditch the presenters and just have the guest talk! Actually she doesn't have nearly enough time to get to the meat - she has been given a hard task I think. But different strokes hey....

Sometimes, a person means what they are saying to you. They want to leave! You can bend over backwards and they still want to leave. Let them go! They may think they have found something better, but often it is proven they are wrong. But also it might be better for you, more than them.
