Expertise

I can answer questions about keeping love in committed relationships alive and fresh. I can help couples overcome obstacles that they might encounter in their relationships and help get them back on the path to a strong, healthy, and committed partnership. I am not the guy to go to if you want to know how to meet someone. (I've never been good at opening lines.) I am dedicated to keeping the romance fires burning even after the embers of a new relationship turn cold. Let me help you find ways to be excited about each other and your relationship again.

Experience in the area

I have written three books, "Out of the Doghouse" , "A Labor With Love", and my most recent book, "The Finance of Romance" (http://couplescommittedtolove.com/a/books/) to help keep romance alive in relationships. I give romance advice on radio and podcasts (local and syndicated) have had a regular newspaper column and have writted scores of articles regarding love. I founded the website, CouplesCommittedToLove.com, where I offer advice and give daily romance tips. I also have hosted the seminars, "Romance 101" and "The Valentine Prep Course".
