Dear Rabbi Shmuley, I am 30 years old, and would love to meet someone,

Conflict is an inevitable part of life, but it need not always be painful. In fact, we all have within us the ability to sustain relationships even when we deeply disagree. When we reach our breaking point (as we all do), and need to walk away, we can do

I am in a relatively new relationship (2 months) with a wonderful man who I'm developing strong feelings for. I've had a lot of unsuccessful relationships in the past, and I want this one to go right. My question is, how much should I share about past rel

I'm 32 years old, and I'm really ready to have a serious relationship and move forward in my life. I'm doing online dating, but I'm also considering trying a professional matchmaker. I know that there are Jewish matchmakers, and secular ones like I see on

I am a 32-year-old widow who lost her beloved husband to cancer last spring. We had no children. Most of the marriage, he battled with cancer, and I took care of him. He is forever in my heart. While I know I am definitely not ready to date yet, I know it

I am a single, 34-year-old woman, and I am dreading the holidays. I recently got up the nerve to start trying to meet someone online, but I am feeling all of this pressure as December approaches, and I'm wondering if I should put dating on hold until afte

My brother passed away just over two years ago at just 32 years of age. His wife has remained connected to our family throughout the terrible period since, but lately she has begun to spend less and less time with us. Then, last week, she told me that she

I had a promiscuous period during college. I am a new woman today, and would never behave this way again. During the end of my "bad period", I began a friendship/courtship with my current boyfriend. After getting to know each other slowly, we fell in love

My wife and I got married in January. We have known each other for 12 years, and dated in high school. We broke up once, years ago, because of a rumor that I later confirmed to not be true. We have one of the most blessed marriages. Honesty and trust top

I am a 37-year-old female who has never really been in a relationship with a man. Until recently, I had been overweight all my life, but not obese. Men were always cruel to me and ruined my self esteem. Now that I've lost the weight guys are always lookin

I have been corresponding with a woman in Israel for close to two months now. I enjoy our e-mails, and she has taught me a lot about herself and her country. Over the past weeks I have begun to realize that she is everything I have been looking for. She i

I was in a horrible relationship for 5 years. We fought, yelled, cussed, and as a result, I created horrible communication habits. I am finding that these habits are translating to my new relationship. I have been in this new relationship for a year and h

I have been dating this guy for about 4 years, and when I started to talk about getting married, he said he does not want to ever get married. I have been trying to talk him into it and give him time, but am I just wasting my time? Should I just give up a

In my search for a soul mate, I'm giving up smart. which is a radical departure, since I've sought out smart men all my dating life. This wasn't so much a conscious decision as a gravitational pull that intellectual types have over me. I've dated so many

I have fallen in love with a young man, and our individual faiths in God have recently become a problem in our relationship. I am a Christian (Baptist) who is trying to develop a stronger relationship with the Lord. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is exp

Dear Renita, I met a man online who I think is truly remarkable. His profile listed him as single, but when I met him I found out he was legally separated and living in his own apartment. He said that all of the accounts had been divided, and that there w

Dear Thomas, I have a beautiful 22-year-old daughter who has been raised in a very loving family. She seems to need, and looks for, this same kind of love in relationships with young men. She has had a couple of relationships, but they all seem to fall sh

Dear Thomas, Last night my boyfriend brought me dinner. The juice from the food was leaking, so he found a Walgreen's bag that was in his truck and put the food in it so it wouldn't leak on the seats. I took the food out of the bag and noticed a receipt t

Admittedly holidays can be hard if you don't have a special someone to share them with. But holidays also bring out the best in people -- the joyous, generous, celebratory side. Positive values are on display this season, along with the colorful store win

Certainly primary among life's lessons is how to love and to love well, and to BE love, as well to give and receive it. I believe love is central to happiness, growth and fulfillment. How would Buddha love? By seeing every single being, human and otherwi

Dear Thomas, I'm 45 years old, and I'm losing hope of ever finding my soul partner. I have seen all six of my brothers and sisters go through marriages and divorces. I used to think that I was lucky to have seen what it was like and was glad I wasn't marr
