Is your relationship a basketball or a vase?

Do you read the "Modern Love" column in the SundayNew York Times?   

I know I should read International news or the Op-Eds first, but Modern Love is always one of the first pages I turn to. The personal essays are always so intimate and thoughtful. 

"Nursing a Wound in an Appropriate Setting," by Thomas Hooven ran last November.

It's his story about how his girlfriend of 12 years ended their relationship.... 3 weeks before the wedding.

It's a lovely, heartfelt description of heartbreak, recovery, and eventually finding the right love for himself.

Hooven describes a key characteristic for a healthy relationship; he put it so beautifully, that I decided to make a video for you about it.
