Just Between Us – How Important is it to Date Your Type? Or is it more Important To Explore Your Non-Type?
Dating to find your ideal partner can be exhausting, expensive and frustrating.
Most people don’t understand that dating is a process with a beginning, a middle and an end.
Both men and women get caught up focusing on what the person they are dating thinks about them.
Wouldn’t it be better to figure out who you are in the deepest recesses of your being; get a solid handle on who your ideal partner is; what the personal qualities, values and beliefs are that would be a fabulous match for you?
Today we’re going to explore the idea of dating your non-type and a whole more.
My guest is Andrea Syrtash, a dating and relationship expert and the author of the new audio book, He’s Just Not Your Type (and that’s a good thing).

Just Between Us – Family Talk: A Powerful Way to Build and Strengthen Family Relationships
You don’t have to be raising children to recognize how much more complicated and challenging it is to raise children today than it was 20 or 30 years ago.
Young people today have so many advantages and opportunities, and so many shinny objects to keep them stimulated and engaged.
Parents have so many more pressures, responsibilities and distractions than ever before.
But, at the end of the day, it is still the job of parents to make children feel valued and loved; instill values; teach them the difference between right and wrong; guide and nurture them to be conscious and honest; to take personal responsibility; and to create a nurturing environment so they can thrive and develop into confident, independent, and caring adults.
My guest today has an approach that fits the bill! Christy Monson is a retired family therapist and the author ofFamily Talk: How to Organize Family Meetings to Solve Problems and Strengthen Relationships.
Join us for lots of good information that you can start using today to build the family relationships you thought were just your dream.

Just Between Us – Must-Know Secrets for Couples About Retirement
In the beginning retirement age was 65, a full year beyond life expectancy.
Today, that is no longer true. Current actuaries reflect life expectancy for men in the US at 76 years and women in the US at 83. Canada and most of Europe is 80 and 84 respectively.
So what does that mean for the two decades plus that people are living beyond retirement?
Just think of all the areas of married life that are going to be affected and that couples will have to address when one or both retire. And the relationship issues couples will have to become aware of and deal with; and the relationship skills couples will need to learn and use.
