Boyz, Guyz, Men~ By: Maryanne Comaroto | - Will your partner make a good Dad?
You have amazing sex. You're physically compatible. You have great dates. Each time you're, well, intimate, you're reminded of how great you are together. But is that all there is? What if you're not alone? What if even if you took precautions you end up pregnant? Great sex doesn't mean the man in your life will be a great father.

Setting Yourself Up""to Succeed In The New Year! By: Maryanne Comaroto | - Can you remember what your New Years resolutions were last year? How did that work out for you? Lets see, mine were: to be less judgmental, and to slow down and take myself less seriously. No easy task for the hyper-vigilant monster that dwells deep in (and, unfortunately, outside) my subconscious. In the hopes of luring and capturing this beast of burden, I did what I do every year. I ritually wrote, and spoke aloud my resolve to slay whatever dragons that seemed to genuinely threaten my ...

Sustainable Relationships By: Maryanne Comaroto | - If you have had a few relationships you know what I mean by sustainability, especially ones that have been a source of pain or suffering to some degree. (Some of which have compelled you to dispose of them by almost any means, organic or not.) But what of the ones you wish to keep, nurture and grow rather than watch die prematurely or unexpectedly? Given all the energy most of us spend putting ourselves out there on the emotional limb (oftentimes left with nothing more than a seed ...

You Can't Handle The Truth"'¦ By: Maryanne Comaroto | - Many years ago, having been married a brief time, I came home after having had a strong, yet curious, experience.
