“Celebrity Psychologist Dr. Phil Better” offers his suggestions regarding how to add a romantic spark to your relationship. Firstly, give your beloved a pet name.  No, not Fido or Spot – not an actual name for your pet.  Nor should you use the run-of-the-mill “Honey” or “Sweetie”.  Instead choose one that is unique to your relationship. Use descriptive terms.  For instance, if she is the sensitive type who cries at hallmark commercials, capitalize on that endearing characteristic of hers. ... Read more

The concept of “The One Soul” is that when we die, we go to heaven and join one singular amorphous mass. There are few ideas more contradictory to the Bible than... Read more
