Twelve principles that psychological studies, psychologists and therapists say are common and essential in healthy, loving and sustainable long-term successful relationships.

In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a viewer who I have been coaching for over six years. He has been with his girlfriend and now fiancé for the past five years. She is the first woman he has been able to successfully date that he considers the ultimate dream woman. Recently he spent a weekend with some close friends on a bachelor party weekend. Two beautiful and obviously single women tagged along in their limo over the course of the evening. One of them was very attracted to him and made her interest known. The night before he was about to fly back home, the girls texted his friends. The one who liked him and whom he found very attractive came into his room and woke him up. He kissed her, but he would not have sex with her and did not tell her why. Now he can’t stop thinking about her and he is starting to wonder if getting married is the right decision for him. He asks my opinion.
