Posted on March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Elizabeth Overstreet

I'm always surprised that people balk at the idea of involving an expert in finding someone who is compatible with them. We' are willing to pay a personal trainer to motivate us for fitness. We are willing to pay a great deal of money for education in preparation for our careers, but most of us leave our relationships to chance. And yet when you are in a relationship if it is the wrong fit, the cost is mental, physical, emotional, and financial anguish. Who you...

How do we fall into toxic relationships? What are the tell-tale signs of a toxic relationship? How do we stop the toxic cycle? No one purposely seeks out a toxic partner.
