April 14th Was National Ex-Spouse Day - It's Not Too Late Commemorate It.

Some of you may have missed it, but yesterday was National Ex-Spouse Day. Falling exactly two months after Valentine's Day and one day before Tax Day, the holiday was created in 1987 by the Reverend Ronald Coleman, who hoped this holiday would become a day of forgiveness and healing.

His premise was that couples who were going through or had gone through a difficult divorce needed to let go of all the anger, hurt, and bitterness to effectively go on with their lives. In my recent article in Your Tango magazine, attached below, I discuss a number of ways to celebrate this holiday, both constructive and otherwise. Please feel free in your comments to discuss whether and how you celebrated this day.

Divorce Attorney Warns Couples That Phubbing Is Legit Grounds For Divorce. The tricky way screens get between even the happiest couples (and how to fix it)

What is "phubbing" and why is it destroying people's marriages and intimate relationships?

It has often been said that the opposite of love is not hate but apathy. No one likes to be ignored or disregarded. "Phubbing" is a word coined some time ago by combining the words "phone" and "snubbing". As it relates to marriage and other romantic relationships, it is the practice of ignoring one's spouse or romantic partner to pay attention to one's phone or other mobile device. This problem, some say it is more of an addiction, is wreaking havoc on such relationships. How big a problem is this? I explore all of this issue in my recently published article in Your Tango magazine. Learn more about this phenomenon and how to save your love relationship by reading the attached article.
