Keeping the home fires burning when from dawn to dusk all hands are on deck trying to keep the family business going can be difficult. Romance and quality time with your partner and family can be pushed down the priority list when the cattle need to be shifted to a new pasture, the cows need milking, the chickens need feeding and the crop needs harvesting – whew! Romance isn’t just about champagne, flowers, expensive dinners and weekends away – it is about the time and effort someone puts in to thinking of their partner and expressing their feelings about that person. Here are a few tips from... Read more

Of course you do. This is completely natural and very understandable. There is something in this person that attracted you to them in the first place. Whether it was their smile, their protective nature, their way with kids or their natural ability on a trampoline, there are always reasons to fall and stay in love. The question is how that person is demonstrating their love toward you. If it is through the use of power and control, that person needs to take major steps to change their behaviours as they are not demonstrating love, or at least a healthy version of... Read more

Children are affected by domestic violence, even if they are not present during an incident. They may hear the violence from their rooms, or see the aftermath such as bruises, broken possessions and moved furniture. Children also pick up on emotional abuse. They become confused and unsettled and the parents cycle through the abuse cycle, sending incompatible and inconsistent messages of love to the child. The child becomes increasingly distressed as their parents oscillate between loving and kind, to stressed and highly anxious, to demanding and unstable and so on.... Read more

It is quite a contradiction to believe a person can be a bad partner but a good parent. Occasionally being loving and kind to a child and ensuring their material needs are met is the easy part of parenting. However, role modelling, providing an emotionally and physically safe environment and teaching them about respect for others is equally important. A child who sees an unhealthy relationship between their parents will not learn the value of a healthy relationship. Nor will they know how to have one. Consider if this is what you want for your child’s future and... Read more

Infidelity can cause extreme emotional pain and heartbreak – but does it automatically mean the end of your marriage or relationship?
Short answer: It’s different for everyone.
Some couples may find it impossible to reconcile after an affair, with the pain of betrayal too strong for the relationship to progress. Others might work on their issues, rebuild trust, and become stronger than ever before.
Affairs don’t just happen in unhappy marriages or relationships. They can happen in couples that are otherwise happy and healthy. And if both parties are committed, the relationship can be saved... Read more

The Rainbow Service is one of a number of options available for you, but you may choose to simply access the venue closest to where you live or work.
