Relationship Advice from Laura Love

Relationship Advice - Everyone needs help navigating the ocean of love. Being in love can be exhilarating, but it can also be tricky and disheartening. There you are, sailing along, feeling like the surface of the water is as smooth as glass, when all of a sudden your lover says or does something that causes something to bubble up from from the dark, murky depths below. Maybe it's fear, maybe it's an unresolved issue or trauma, perhaps it's simply a lack of trust. What to do? Consult with Laura Love.

Laura Love has been-there-and-done-that. She's navigated the open waters of love and dove deep into the darkness below. Best of all, she's lived to tell the tale with humor and compassion. Married for almost seventeen years to the great love of her life and a veteran dater before that, she knows well the currents and rip tides of the heart.
