During our "Love Doctor" series this week, we'll be talking with various experts to learn what it takes to find and maintain romance.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, Carol Bailey weighs in on love, romance, and starting a new relationship. After more than 30 years as one of Seattle's top divorce attorneys, Carol has become an expert in failing relationships but she's also learned a thing or two about what makes them work!
Some of Carol's helpful hints:
- Lust doesn’t last, like does. Look for someone who shares the same life goals you do and who you enjoy being around.
- Let go of the need to be right. Try to remember that the other person feels right, just like you do. Feeling right is based on believing your point of view, not the fact that you are right.
- When lust wears off, which it will, remain intimate. Sex keeps your connection alive and if you aren’t doing it, who will?
- Make absolutely sure you say something positive every day to your beloved. If you can’t think of something, consider if you might be the problem.
- Humor diffuses anger. Remember how silly we can all be at times and smile at our shared condition.
Carol hosts a radio show called About Happiness, which airs at 8am on the first Monday of each month on Chat With Women radio station KKNW 1150AM.
