Why Self Acceptance is Important in Relationships
On an individual basis, it’s well-known that self acceptance can make or break one’s confidence levels. One who isn’t comfortable in their own skin will have a hard time making friends, or even making it through day-to-day activities.

Because we slip into routines and couples become comfortable with their everyday lives, working to change that level of fluidity can often come as an unwelcome change. But when a problem does arise -- no matter how large or small -- it’s important that it be addressed before it grows into something larger. Which is exactly why couples should communicate as often as possible. With the help of an outsider, however, especially ...
