If you are looking for love, you have a better chance of finding the right person through an app on your iPhone than you do loitering around local watering holes.

You can flip through possibilities like you were flipping radio channels, until...

Having ambivalence about your relationship sometimes is completely normal.  You have a fight. Maybe a few fights. You go through a period where you both feel disconnected. Kids, jobs, cleaning bathrooms, the dandelions in the front lawn -- virtually everything seems like it's more of a priority than your marriage.  All relationships have ebbs and flows. Disconnection and reconnection is simply the...
