I contributed to the following article found on Fatherly.com:
This is a story about money issues and arguments and how it takes years, not days, to finally find a formula that works for both of you.
“Hopefully, you and your partner have had some conversations when your relationship moved in a serious direction about your thoughts, values and concerns about finances in general,” Dr. Marni Feuerman, licensed marriage and family therapist, tells me. Hopefully being the operative word…
Dr. Feuerman confirms that this [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][being proactive] is key. When an issue arises, a couple should deal with it head-on, when possible. “Avoidance will not be helpful. Choose a time when you can talk privately and have no distractions,” she says. “Don’t talk if you are tired, hungry, or overstressed from work.”

5 Red Flags You Should Watch Out for When Picking a Roommate
I contributed to the following article found on ApartmentTherapy.com:
In many ways, living with a roommate is a rite of passage that teaches us about compromise, companionship, and responsibility. But, for many, it can also be a nightmare: From unpaid bills to illicit behaviors, a number of bad things can pop up when you live with a complete stranger, or even a friend, without doing your due diligence. However, avoiding these circumstances can be as easy as having a brief, honest conversation.
“You will want to focus on personal habits, routines, and philosophy about how best to cohabitate, says Marni Feuerman, a licensed clinical social worker in Boca Raton, Florida. “You should feel free to open up about yourself in this regard as well.”
Keep the following red flags in mind while you’re deciding if you want to live together. Although these aren’t necessarily negative or unhealthy behaviors, they might become big problems down the line.

Best Marriage Advice for a Rock Solid Relationship
I contributed to the following article found on Marriage.com:
Date Your Spouse Like You Are Not Married to Them
“The best advice I would give is to continue to treat each other the way you did when you were dating. By that I mean, act very happy when you first see or talk to each other, and be kind. Some of these things can fall by the wayside when you have been with someone for a while. Sometimes the way spouses treat each other would not have gotten a second date, let alone to the altar! Think about how you may be taking each other for granted or if you have been remiss in treating your spouse well in other ways.”

Women Are Turning to Abusive Digital ‘Lovers’
I contributed to the following article found on Ozy.com:
…the video described is a real example of a new YouTube trend of “digital” possessive and abusive boyfriends that has been gaining popularity since early 2017, within a genre known as autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, videos…
“Domination-type fantasies and role-playing are not so unusual among women,” says Marni Feuerman, a psychotherapist in Boca Raton, Florida, adding that “it can feel exciting to have someone want such control over you by being ultra-jealous and possessive.” But these fantasies, while fun for some to explore on YouTube, aren’t necessarily a reflection of what women may want away from the screen. “I do not think this is what any woman would desire in real life,” Feuerman says.

How to Introduce a New Partner to Your Family
I contributed to the following article found on ESME.com:
“It will always feel a little funny, awkward, or nerve-wracking to introduce a new person,” cautions Dr. Marni Feuerman, a social worker and marriage and family therapist in Boca Raton, Florida. “Just allow for anything that comes up afterwards.”
“The three-day rule is generally a good one, but it can vary depending on your family,” says Feuerman. “You know your family well, so err on the side of caution. There are parents who may want you to stay longer or those who are distant or cold and just don’t like houseguests. You should also ask both your partner and your parents if that’s too much, encouraging them to be honest, not polite. If it’s too much, don’t do it.”
