Valentine’s Day can be a joyous and romantic day filled with flowers, chocolates, jewelry, conversational hearts, and teddy bears from your loved one. But it can also be difficult for singles, as it can serve as a reminder of love lost, relationships gone sour, or loved ones who have passed away. Some singles feel it’s a reflection of them not […]
I know a whole lot of people who really can’t stand Valentine’s Day. It often seems like more people dread it than look forward to it. Valentine’s Day gets a bad reputation. People don’t like a lot of things about it. They say it’s cheesy. They say it’s just an attempt by greeting card companies to make more money. They […]
My son has been a terrible sleeper. Recently, he didn’t nap all day and then cried for hours and hours during the night. The next morning at church I saw a woman holding a baby who was fast asleep despite all the lights, lively music, and people. Then there was me. Tired, disheveled with unwashed hair, desperately patting, shushing, and […]
Have you settled into a boring routine in your sex life? Do you feel that your partner just doesn’t “get you” anymore? Has the daily “I love you” disappeared? You’ve lost that loving feeling and now it’s gone, gone, gone…but wait! Even if you’ve lost the feeling, you can get it back. Better yet, if you’ve still got it, kudos […]

The media creates great sexual expectations—ones that inaccurately portray real life and real sex with real people within a real relationship. Although our culture is bombarded with sex and sexual images, most people aren’t having much […]
Have you bought into the myth that couples must agree on everything? If you’ve been married for longer than a week, you know that perfect agreement on all things, especially politics, isn’t realistic. Every couple has topics on which they just can’t see eye to eye. Perhaps you and your partner are on the same party lines but disagree on […]
Hey everyone, I was recently interviewed by Francesca Di Meglio (@NewlywedsGuide) from About.com for their “Will this marriage survive?” column. In this interview, I discuss a case study about how couples can survive an affair (don’t worry, names have been changed, and this is a combination of many couples’ stories, not one in particular). Happy reading! How to Get Past Emotional […]
We are often so busy these days between running to jobs, school, sports, and extracurricular activities for the kids, housework…the list goes on. So how do we find time for our marriage and our intimacy? Many of us feel as though that hot, passionate lovemaking has been reduced to a small spark. Dr. Tabitha Johnson speaks with Francesca Di Meglio with […]
Hope…a four-letter word that can be so difficult to have and keep, especially when going through a tough situation in your life or relationship. I clearly remember sitting in the small townhouse where I lived in Mississippi. I was a 27-year-old Ph.D., well respected in my field as a relationship expert, and yet found myself crying my eyes out after […]
