Relationship Tips For Women
Relationship Expert Bree Maresca-Kramer Helps Women
The most common complaint I hear from women today in our society is that they are frustrated with their man.
This frustration comes from their feeling that he does not understand nor care about her feelings and refuses to communicate about what is important.
Essentially, she is feeling alone in the relationship and does not know how to connect him with her and their relationship. She will try everything she knows to do establish closeness with him. However, the problem is that she is doing this through what I like to call “women speak.”
The best relationship help I give to women in this situation is to first and foremost shift their style of communicating!
This often sounds shocking to women because they are used to talking with their man the same way they would talk with their girlfriends. They also will feel very confused by this, as they never were told that connecting with their man takes special communication skills. Therefore, allow me to share this here, communicating with a man in the manner that you would speak with another woman does not work!
The bottom line is men and women are different. We process information, feelings, and thoughts in unlike ways. Therefore, when a woman tries to interact with her man in the way that is natural to her she will end up feeling very discouraged.
Is this to say that men do not want to communicate or connect with their woman?
Absolutely not!
It does mean that the way men do this is not the same way as women do it. There are certain communication skills both men and women need to learn in order to have a great relationship.
Being that this is such a vital part of a thriving relationship, I provided these skills in the It’s That Simple! relationship help books for men and women.
Each book teaches the man or woman how to communicate with their partner in a way their partner will hear and understand.
Once a man or a woman has this knowledge, their ability to communicate about their thoughts, feelings, desires, and issues is incredible. They are empowered to effectively and successful share their message with their partner.
If you are like most women, then you do need to learn how to talk with your man in a way that leaves you and him feeling heard, understood, and resolved.

It’s That Simple! Relationship Books Really Help!
Relationship Help From Books!
As a Relationship Expert, I am often interviewed on many different aspects of relationships including my relationship books for men and women. “How do these books help a relationship?” they will ask.
The answer is simple…I took the healing process that I use with my clients and condensed it down into a simple to understand and follow book.
I did this so those, who are unable to afford professional help or who are not ready for that step, would have the help they need for their relationship.
“Why is there a book for men and a separate book for women?” is another question I am often asked.
The reason I did this was because men and women are dissimilar creatures. We think, feel, and process information very differently, which is why so many couples have difficulties in their relationship. Because of this fact, I wanted to provide a book that spoke to each in a way they could easily understand and apply.
Another common question I am asked is, “What if only one person in the relationship reads their book will it still work?”
Absolutely! Being aware this would be a good possibility, each book is written to stand alone as well as being a companion book with their partner’s.
It’s That Simple! Relationship Books for men and women provide a step-by-step healing process for the individual and their relationship. The reader will learn:
- How to effectively communicate with their partner!
- How to identify the core issues causing problems in their relationship!
- How to heal those issues and learn new ways of relating to one another!
- How to change thinking and behavioral patterns that are not working!
- How to find the joy, gratitude, and love for their partner and relationship!

I Need Relationship Help!
Relationship Help From Expert Bree Maresca-Kramer M.A.
“I Need Relationship Help!” is what I hear most from both men and women constantly!
Both men and women come to me lost, confused, and frustrated wanting to fix their relationship but having no idea where to even begin.
When a person is in this state, it negatively impacts other areas of their life, such as with their ability to focus and perform at their job, be an attentive and good parent, and with their health.
Being in a relationship that is not working is very difficult emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually. It can leave a person feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted, and hopeless.
As a relationship expert I can confidently say there are answers and a better way!
When I work with an individual or couple, they learn what the exact issue is that is causing the problems in their relationship. This is not the superficial reasons but the true deeper and sometimes unconscious reason the relationship is suffering.
Once this is identified I teach them the steps on how to heal it once and for all. This enables the person or couple to let go of thought and behavioral patterns that just do not work and apply ones that do.
Finally, I guide them to the part that brings the fun, joy, and passion back into their relationship. This piece of the healing process is what I like to call “the good stuff!” It is the reward for doing the work and it is amazing!
I have had couples completely ready for divorce courts; instead choose to go through my relationship help coaching program who found love and happiness again with one another.
It is possible to heal your relationship! If you are ready to start on your healing journey you can reach me here.

Help Me Save My Marriage!
Relationship Help Advice
Today, more than ever, marriages are crumbling at record speed!
Everyday stress, financial burdens, demands of children, hectic schedules, unhealthy life styles choices, and fatigue are just some of the reasons couples are having a hard time keeping their marriages strong and healthy.
When someone cries out, “Help me save my marriage!” usually their relationship has been damaged to a place of great dysfunction and they need help that works quickly.
Relationship Expert Bree Maresca-Kramer M.A.
The great news is that for those couple who want to save their relationship, they can!
When a couple comes to me in this state I assure them it is possible to help their relationship. They will ask something like, “are you sure, we don’t even talk anymore we just yell at one another?” I explain that no matter how bad things have gotten between them, if they are willing to do the work they can not only heal their relationship but create a wonderfully new loving one.
Hearing this sounds almost impossible to them because they are currently in a state of deprivation. They have forgotten how to treat one another well and because of that are now operating from a place of lack.
To turn this negative place into a positive one they must receive some immediate relief they can build from to transform their relationship. How do I do this for them? It’s simple! I guide them to the core issue of what is casing the breakdown in their relationship and teach them how to fix it for good.
You see once a person understands the core or root of a problem it becomes easy to heal it and move forward. It is when we do not see where the problem arises from that keeps us stuck in a negative pattern.

Relationship Help Advice On ‘Why The Sex Stops’ From Expert Bree Maresca-Kramer M.A.
Relationship Help Advice
Having a healthy sex life is an essential part of a happy and fulfilling relationship.
In most relationships, when the sex stops — the door to relationship problems opens wide up! A couple who were formerly happy together will eventually face issues they never did before.
That is why understanding “why the sex stops” in a relationship is so important. For when we know why a problem takes place we can either avoid it all together or fix it once it has occurred.
Relationship Expert Advice
Over the last fifteen years with my work with both men and women, I have seen the following reasons as to why this took place in their relationship:
- They stopped talking with one another about their ideas, dreams, and feelings about things.
- They allowed the daily stress from work and home to take over and become the priority.
- There were health issues impeding sexual functioning.
- They gained weight and became unhappy with and by their bodies.
- They had children and became overwhelmed and tired.
- They became bored with their routines and lost interest.
- There was a hormonal imbalance for the man, woman, or both.
- They forgot how special their partner was and focused only on what was wrong with them instead.
- They gave into temptation and had an affair(s).
For some couples it was just one of these reasons while for others it was several or all of them! However, for those men and women who made fixing their relationship a priority, they were able to take what I taught them and create a great sex life and relationship again.
Of course avoiding any and all of these reasons is the best course of action to take. However, if your relationship has gotten to a place where you need some help it is important to not be afraid or embarrassed to get it.
I confidentially work with individuals & couples throughout the United States by using Skype or telephone sessions. Learn more here.

Can You Really Get Help From A Relationship Coach?
Relationship Help Through Coaching?
The answer is a resounding yes!
However, there are certain qualifiers that must exist. The first is that you work with a relationship coach that has the education and experience to provide you with the knowledge and means to repair your relationship. The second is that you and/or your partner have the willingness to do what it takes to heal and move forward with your relationship.
I say “you and/or your partner” because many times I will have only one person in the relationship reach out to me for help. This occurs because he or she is very frustrated, lost, and at the end of their rope desperately looking for answers. They want to save their relationship but have no idea how to even begin. Often times, the relationship is in such a fragile place they are afraid to even approach their partner to join them to work with me. The great news is that even if I am only working with one person in the relationship positive changes can happen.
How?
When I am working with someone or a couple I guide them to the core of their problems and teach them how to heal it for good. Whether there issues stem from poor communication, lack of a healthy sex life, unresolved resentments, feeling unappreciated, valued, or loved, I join with them to heal those places.
Once this is accomplished, I teach them new ways of relating to and loving one another. Here are some of what they will learn:
- Forgive, Heal, & Rebuild Their Relationship
- Effective Communication Skills
- Creating A Mutually Fulfilling Sex Life
- Keeping Healthy Boundaries With One Another
- Conflict Resolution Skills
- Understanding One Another’s Trigger Points
- How To Have Fun & Enjoy Each Other
- How To Fall In Love All Over Again
The fact is that with the right help your relationship can be repaired and then transformed into one you have always dreamed of!

Protecting Your Relationship From The Holidays!
Relationship Help
The holiday season can be filled with family, friends, laughter, joy, and celebration. However, for many unresolved issues with their partner or family members, added stress, and anxiety are also a real part of this time of year. Unfortunately, this leads people to adopting an attitude of “getting through it” rather than enjoying it, which can create unnecessary upsets in one’s relationship.
To shift from dread to joy requires one do a few things.
The first is to mentally be aware of current issues that may arise when gathering for the holiday. Understanding these problems exist and will not be fixed over a dinner is very important. Therefore, consciously putting those issues aside for now and instead choose to come from a place of love, kindness, and compassion with your partner and those you are sharing the holiday with. By doing this you are actually opening the door for healing those problems down the road.
Secondly, adopt what I like to call a “team-centered” approach with your partner. Join together as a team to win the game, which is having an enjoyable holiday time. This entails working together rather than allowing the stressors or others to divide and conquer your relationship. Treat one another and your relationship as a precious jewel you are caring for as you walk through the experience together. By doing this you will build a deeper emotional bond, which will bring you closer together.
Finally, look for the joy. This simple concept just happens to be one of the biggest missed during the holidays. The delight in finding the joy in the present moment is what it is really all about. To do this, step back, breath, and count your blessings while you fill your heart with gratitude for all you already have and then experience the joy!

Relationship Expert – Bree Maresca-Kramer’s Relationship Secrets!
Relationship Help Secrets
For both men and women having a happy, healthy, and thriving relationship is a dream!
Unfortunately, many times this dream is not achieved. Instead, these couples are often faced with relationship problems that cause feelings of frustration, anger, and unhappiness.
In my work, as a relationship expert, I am often interviewed and asked, “Bree what are the secrets to a great relationship?”
The answer to this great question always starts with the relationship a person has with him or herself.
The reason this is the starting point is simply because it takes having a healthy relationship with yourself to have one with another human being.
When we do not have this type of relationship with ourselves we will unknowingly project the unhealed places within us onto our partner and often damage our relationship.
This projecting or “acting out” comes in many different forms and situations depending on the particular person. Some common examples are:
- Blaming your partner for your unhappiness or lack of success
- Giving your partner the silent treatment
- Emotionally disconnecting from your partner
- Putting the responsibility of you feeling good onto your partner
- Becoming angry at your partner for not satisfying your every need
- Having unrealistic expectations of your partner and relationship
Again, the very best help a person can give to their relationship is to have a great one with themselves first. Once this is accomplished, we then can move onto other elements necessary to experience a wonderfully happy relationship.
Some of these elements include effective communication skills, having fun together, keeping the emotional and physical intimacy alive, and having a shared vision for your relationship.
Each of these facets is just as important as all of the other ones. That being said, when one or more of these parts of the relationship are missing that is when problems will arise. In order to avoid this, a couple should become as educated as they can with the right information and tools.
I may be a bit biased but I do believe that the It’s That Simple! relationship help books for men and women are a great way to do just that!
I wrote these books with the sole intention of helping men and women learn what they need to have the relationship of their dreams!

Talk To Your Man In “Man Talk” & Help Your Relationship!
Relationship Help For Women
Men and women are different creatures!
We think, feel, process, and communicate in dissimilar ways. These very real differences are what create many problems in male-female relationships.
However, when a woman knows how to communicate with her man in a language he can understand, her relationship with him will reap incredible rewards!
Many women make the common mistake of speaking with their man as if he were a woman. More specifically as if he were one of her close girlfriends. They will share every detail, feeling, and nuance with him without realizing that is not the way to speak with their man.
The reason women mistakenly do this is that they do not understand how a man’s brain works or how he best communicates.
Because this is a problem in so many relationships, I wrote an entire chapter detailing how to communicate with a man in:
A Woman’s Book on Relationships, Life, Ourselves and The Healing of It All
When a woman reads this book she will learn relationship help tools, information, and guidance on how to transform her relationship into a happy and healthy one.
She will learn how to understand herself and her man on a deeper level bringing more emotional intimacy into her relationship. As well, she will learn how to simply and effectively communicate with her man to bring about the type of relationship she really wants to have with him.
I used my fifteen years of clinical experience and education in mental health counseling to write this book in a way that a woman can understand, follow, and easily apply to her relationship.
Problems with communicating are one of the top reasons relationships fall apart!
Learning how to effectively communicate is key in having a successful and thriving relationship. The great news is that it does not have to be difficult to learn and apply! That is why I picked the name “It’s That Simple!” I want women to understand that with the right tools and information it can be easy to have a great relationship!

Secrets To Make A Marriage Last From Relationship Expert Bree!
Relationship Help For Marriages From Expert Bree
I recently met a very happily married couple of twenty-seven years and asked them what they thought the secret was to their successful marriage. In unison they replied “commitment.” They shared with me that in their particular faith divorce is not an option and because of that they never considered it as a possibility. They went on to share that they have had issues along the way but knew it was far more important to work through them as they were not leaving the relationship.
As I watched how this couple interacted I saw additional elements that definitely make a marriage work.
To begin, they had great respect for another and communicated very well. When one spoke the other listened intently and responded with thoughtfulness and care. They gave one another good eye contact, used humor, and supportive uplifting words with one another.
Another aspect they possess is what I like to call a “team-centered” approach to their marriage. They treated one another like partners both working toward the same goal. They loved and supported one another and spoke in “we” language.
Finally, they had shared values, morals, faith, and interests outside their children. They both enjoyed doing the same things and made a point of having fun together. They had a shared vision of what the rest of their married life will be like which included mutually specific travel spots around the world.
As we said our goodbyes, I told them they were so inspiring that I was going to write about their marriage and share relationship help tips to other couples. Smiles from ear to ear ran across their faces as they beamed with joy!
