Advice on Relationships

Advice for relationships is everywhere. When it comes to being in a relationship, advice (wanted or unwanted) seems to come with the territory.

Turn on the TV, pick up a magazine, listen to the radio, read a book, talk to family or friends and for anyone willing to listen, there is free relationship advice.

Not only that, if you don't end up with more different "right things" to do than advice givers, you're lucky.

Fortunately, we all come with a built-in advice evaluation meter that is always turned on. It is simply how close and safe we feel with our partner.

Imagine what your life would feel like if you followed a particular piece of advice. Would you feel warmer toward your partner? More comfortable about being with them? If the answer is yes, then it is likely to be good advice for you. If not, be careful about putting it into practice, no matter who told you it was the right thing.

In general, it is safer to look for tools with which you can craft your own solutions than to seek or follow advice.
