The initial state of love is like a gaseous state; warm, airy, elusive, passionate. But if that initial state doesn't subside and mature love doesn't arrive, it becomes suffocating, like standing in a sauna for hours; you can't breathe. In the gaseous state of love, you can't even tell exactly what attracts you to the other person; what's inside them is vague, you try to guess from their scent but you can't be sure of their taste. It spreads everywhere like steam, enveloping your entire being.

"Healthy communication" is not a skill, but a learned process. You learn and apply what you see in your family. Fortunately, if we can learn not to communicate, we can also learn the opposite.

Tolstoy's famous novel Anna Karenina opens with the sentence, "Happy families are all alike; unhappy families are unhappy in their own way," emphasizing that happiness has commonalities, but unhappiness is unique to each family. Similarly, loneliness can be a unique experience for each individual, not a universal one. A new study conducted in April 2023 corroborates Tolstoy's view.

In this never-ending cycle, today's children will heal their own wounds as tomorrow's adults, despite their bandaged and struggling parents. Just another one of nature's cycles. Forgive yourself today for your mistakes, and forgive your parents for yesterday's.

Sometimes, no matter the method, the necessary lesson can't be learned in one go. Since things aren't learned in one go in school either, let life's school challenge them more. They might get hurt twice while I'm there, but if they can eventually protect themselves when I'm gone, that's enough. The important thing is that we are there for them calmly when they're hurting. Let us give them the compassion, security, and love they need. Let them know that we are the ones who will accept them unconditionally when they're hurting. This way, we'll be the first ones they come to when they make mistakes they might be ashamed of in the future. Let's seize the opportunity to support them before those mistakes escalate.

How many women ministers are there? Are there any LGBTQ MPs? (Or those who openly declare themselves?) What are the percentages of women in senior management positions? Are the expectations for that position the same for heterosexual men? Could a female prime minister, for example, have wild fun? Who is usually the one who quits their job after having children? If the answer were purely mathematical, with no influence from societal role expectations, would the math of salaries be sexist? Do men and others at the same level and with the same skills earn the same?

In modern psychiatry, it is possible to treat many disorders involving emotions such as anxiety and sadness, and the behavioral and physiological changes associated with these emotions. But what about love?

It would be more accurate to define a good sex life as essentially a healthy and happy sexual life. Mental health, rather than physical health, determines a healthy sexual life. Many people with internal health conditions can remain sexually active with proper treatment and appropriate side effect management.

Sometimes, shared experiences are limited to parental roles. In such cases, the relationship becomes a habit, roommate dynamic, or a shared child-rearing project. Couples feel close and committed, but the passion is gone; love is no longer there, only the name remains. What I mean is, mature love requires acceptance, effort, and sharing. Cherish your love.

A child with healthy and strong attachments can, when the time comes, become an independent adult who is self-confident, self-reliant, self-loving, compassionate, self-soothing, able to protect their boundaries, open their doors, and form secure attachments without being dependent on others.

For sexual intercourse to be truly satisfying, it requires the union of not only bodies but also souls. Research shows that in relationships where emotionally intense feelings are nurtured, sex is considered more satisfying by both women and men.

Marriage has been shown to increase overall health and longevity, promote happiness, and contribute to financial stability.

Today, most individuals spend their working hours with colleagues when their spouses are not present, while with their spouses they spend their time with family and close friends; this can leave little time for friends without a spouse, especially if one wants to dedicate time to personal hobbies.

"Honey, while we're out grocery shopping, could you get me some lubricant?"

Sounds strange? Many married people feel guilty about masturbating; however, self-pleasure can be healthy for almost any relationship. Here's why.

Marriage has been shown to increase overall health and lifespan, promote happiness, and contribute to financial stability. Whether due to its benefits or simply out of habit, marriage maintains its reputation as the smallest and most widespread institution in society. The fear that married people become antisocial is one of the items on the list of those who fear marriage. Is that really the case?
