We often forget that we are graced with special beauty as unique beings at birth.  With too many commercials pushing products for our appearance, we neglect to focus inwardly where our true beauty resonnates.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When relationships suffer breaks in communication and intimacy that go unrepaired long enough, one partner may begin to find an outside person to make up for the missing connection in the primary relationship.  While both partners contribute to the symptoms of the relationship breakdown, clearly, the partner who breaks trust in doing so will do far more damage to the relationship than to honestly confront their mate about what is needed and missing for them to feel happy.  Typically, no one plans to begin an affiar.  They start to build a friendship with another person and take away the intimacy with their partner by sharing promblems with the other person.  Sometimes, the other person is a sexual mate with little emotional connection. Either way, the primary relationship suffers when the issues in the relationship are dealt with elsewhere.  Despite the obvious hurt and betrayal an affair creates, if both mates still love each other and are committed, an affair may highlight significant unresolved problems that can be repaired.  While this process is very painful and trust will take time to rebuild, it is possible for motivated couples to work through this pain and become stronger and closer than before with the help of a skilled psychologist.]]></description>
