Hi! I’m Carolyn Bushong. I’m a relationship expert (author of 3 relationship books), a licensed psychotherapist, and an all-around happy person in a happy, healthy relationship. I’d like to show you how to be happier – whether you’re married, single by choice, or single and seeking that one special someone. I also want to show you how to solve problems in your life, whether it’s how to get him to help with the housework, have your boss respect you at work, handle a friendship, or find your passion in life.

We all want more love, happiness, romance, respect, admiration, and sanity in our lives. But most of us don’t know how to get it.

Sometimes people think their expectations are too high, so they just settle for things the way they are. They don’t try for a happier relationship with the same zest they try for a promotion at work or even to have a child. In my marriage at 21, I made these mistakes. Now in my relationship of 19 years, I’m getting, and continue to get, the love, romance, and communication I always wanted. People still tell us to “get a room!”

Relationships don’t have to be difficult. But without the basic information on how men think, on what women want, and why people behave the way they do, relationships are hard to figure out.

Most people stay confused. Should you let this issue go, or confront your mate about it? If single, should you try on-line dating or keep hoping to meet your soulmate the natural way? Should you give him or her another try or are you wasting your time? Is a relative or friend really interfering in your relationship? Are you being too selfish? Is what you’re asking for normal? These are some of the questions you may wonder about.

Couples seem to fight about the same issues over and over and seldom find resolution to their problem. Each person just tries to make his or her point clearer, believing he’s right, and thinking the other will eventually see it his or her way.

You’re probably the kind of person whose life works pretty well in most areas, but when it comes to relationships you just don’t have the knowledge and information you need.

I’m not only a licensed therapist, but I also have a Ph.D in life. I have education and experience in psychology and particularly relationships, but besides that in my own personal life I haven’t been hiding under a rock. I explored marriage, living together, being single for years, and struggled with my own relationships until about 20 years ago – when I figured out what I was doing wrong. Now I’ve been in a happy, healthy relationship for 19 years.
