Let me bust a myth for you. There’s no such thing as balance. There are only choices. That means, when life gets too chaotic, when you feel frazzled and unhappy and like you’re not doing anything particularly well, it’s time to take something off your plate.

Most kids are aware of death. They probably don't understand it, but it's in their cartoons, video games, on their TV. They may have a friend who has lost a loved one and talked about it.

Do you have someone in your life who’s actions don’t match their words? You sense they’re upset, but also that they’re trying to conceal it from you. Maybe they give you the silent treatment, withhold intimacy, withhold praise.

Some people aren’t raised with affection. They haven’t been taught to be loving and caring. It wasn’t modeled for them. But that’s not a reason to withhold loving affection from your spouse.

When you show affection, you’re showing love. It's another way to say I love you. But, far too often couples let it slip away. They stop sitting close to each other on the couch. They stop holding hands as they walk down the street. It’s sad really.
