HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK

Romance woes? Talk it out

No relationship is perfect. Conflicts about child rearing, sexual differences and communication problems are common issues among couples. But those differences don't necessarily mean that your relationship is bound for strife. Talking about your differences with your partner, alone or with a counselor, can help you understand each other's point of view.
