It’s 2023, and while it seems like the world has become so much more progressive and accepting, there still do exist many “social norms” that place certain subject matters into a taboo constraint. As women, that can be even tighter.

Every relationship is different. No two couples will interact with each other in the same ways. Or share the same common interests. It's what makes life so wonderful at times—knowing how different we all are from one another. However, sometimes, these differences don't work out exactly in our favor.

With any relationship, romantic or otherwise, there should always be a balance between being the giver and receiver. At times, of course, we may need to give more to the other person. For the most part, however, there should be a healthy balance.

Romantic connections can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster. There are highs and lows—moments where everything is great and moments where you are just over it all. Every couple, at some point, goes through just as many negatives as they do positives.

Sexual intimacy in a relationship is essential. While that is not the only aspect of a relationship that matters, it is definitely important. There are no hard rules as to how often a couple should have sex because this will differ from couple to couple.

Relationships don't always go smoothly. After the honeymoon phase is over, many couples start to see issues pop up in their relationship.

Dating at any age can feel complicated. It's always challenging to begin integrating someone else into your life. We used to think dating as a teenager was complicated, but the truth is, it can be even more so as adults

They say that friendship is the strongest foundation of a relationship. It's not really possible to disagree with that because it truly is. However, a strong foundation for a healthy relationship involves more than just being friends—things like honesty and respect, for instance. And, most importantly, trust.

Topics about sexual intimacy are already taboo. But when it comes to discussing addiction to sex, most people consider it completely off-limits. However, sex addiction is a bigger problem than most people realize.

Watching someone you care for or love struggle with addiction is heartbreaking. Most people think that addiction only truly affects the person battling it. But the truth is, anyone who is close enough to the person going through it is also fighting their own battle.
