By
Linda Mintle
A patient who was seeing me in couple’s therapy said, “My wife doesn’t have much empathy. And she doesn’t return my affection. It’s subtle, and I can’t really put my finger on it. She says things like, ‘I am too good for this relationship.’ or ‘I deserve good things and people don’t realize how much…

You talk regularly, share problems, laugh and spend hours in each other’s company. In fact, surveys data tell us that 74% of people have dated a co-worker. But is dating your co-worker…

By
Linda Mintle
Quick entry this week: Got a problem? How are you responding? My devotional reading in Jesus Calling challenged me when it comes to answering this question. The entry focused on how we approach problems when they arise. Our human tendency is to get upset, anxious, worried and even panic. When we feel these emotions, it’s…

Linda Mintle
You see it all the time in sitcoms. The “I don’t have a clue” husband whose wife is constantly telling him what to do, or reminding him what he is not doing. While we may laugh at this comedy routine, there is nothing funny about it in real couple relationships. It’s called nagging. And it…
