When it comes to relationships, there is one basic golden rule that will save you years of wondering: relationships are hard! They can be so emotionally challenging and sometimes seem as though they should be exclusively spared for the brave ones among us. You might be wondering then why anyone would go through such trouble in the first place. The answer is quite simple; it’s because when relationships work according to plan, they can be a gateway to an incomparable state of bliss. It is worth mentioning, though, that these fleeting times of smooth sailing are relatively rare. Some couples know how to hold on and face the high tides, while others, unfortunately, decide to give up.

Don’ts and Dos on Coronavirus

Jane M. Orient M.D.

by Jane M. Orient, M.D.

Some of the views expressed here are controversial. So, do ask your doctor. I hope you have one—not just the HMO or retail clinic “provider.”

Don’t panic. That is always good advice. If you, like the world’s economy, operate on just-in-time inventories, and did not take advice to stock up 3 weeks ago, do not join a mob at a big-box store. Somebody there is no doubt infected. Plus, there’s the risk of getting trampled or injured in a fist fight over the last roll of toilet paper. Most of the world survives without that luxury good. If you have no rice or beans or pasta in the pantry, that is more serious, but you should still avoid mobs if at all possible. Take-out and drive-through places are booming.
