This week's question comes from Dale:
Hi Orna & Mathew,
I am following your letters and attended a webinar that was awesome. I love the depth of your perspective! So much of the info I see on dating is superficial and geared towards what women should be doing to 'attract' men and keep them. I'm tired of hearing everything from this point of view! What we should be wearing, saying, doing and not doing. I'm interested in figuring out what my response is to the men I'm dating and how to know if I should pursue investing in a relationship or not.
I'm a Coach myself and very aware of the fact that who we are attracted to are not always the right person for us.

Attract Your Soulmate
How to end the struggle?
This week's question comes from Valerie:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I admire you both so much and I love how you share so much about your relationship and how it took a long time for you each to figure things out.
I always question those people who say they never fight, or that it’s easy… it just seems suspect to me. I really appreciate your direct approach in how you answer questions and spell things out.
Currently, I am divorced mom with 2 kids and being a single mom has its challenges all around, a lot of the issue is that I cannot afford to work with you. Does that just mean I’m out of luck? Can I book just 1 session and see how things go?
I would really

How do I make love last?
This week's question comes from Connie:
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am a big fan of yours and I’ve been reading your newsletter for over 3 years. I decided it was my turn to ask you a question.
I really resonate with everything you speak about. I do believe that love is inside of me and that I am a catch. To be completely honest, I know I am a great date, and an awesome girlfriend.
What I want to know is how do you make love last?
I seem to be stuck in good to great monogamous relationships. Most of my relationships last for a few years but for one reason or another they end.
I just turned 47 and I’m starting to think that maybe I do have a broken

Will being “Nice” attract my soulmate?
This week's question comes from Monica:
Orna and Matthew,
I’m really struggling right now… one of my close friends just got engaged. This will leave me as the last single gal in my group who has never been married.
When I look at my friends who are married, I can’t seem to see any similarities in how they got hitched that makes me understand what they did right, and what I’m doing wrong.
One good friend of mine has been married 6 years and well… there’s no other way to put it… she’s kind of a bitch. I cannot believe the way she speaks to her husband. I am shocked that he puts up with it, and when I see how he looks at her – he is clearly IN LOVE!

7 Years – No Itch!
Hello Love On Purpose Community!
Today is our 7-year wedding anniversary so we decided to mix things up and instead of answering one of your questions today, we decided to share our “secrets” with you.
Often times we are surprised to hear from our friends that they think our relationship is EASY! They want what we have…
The truth is that it was very easy in the beginning. We had both transformed our blocks to love, cultivated discernment through the dating process, and were on the search for an ideal match.
Every relationship needs the SPARK of attraction and that chemical high we call “The Romance Stage” in order to create longevity in relationship. It’s like

When is a need too needy?
This week's question comes from Julia:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been a fan of yours for a long time and the content you are sharing is very inspiring. I have just watched your video “Why Smart Women Stay Single” [link] and I found the points you made totally make sense. However, I have a question after this video…
I understand that a man likes to feel his woman needs him and that he’s her hero, but at the same time when we are too needy? It seems men are scared, feeling lots of pressure, and start running away.
What’s the difference between show him I need him and too needy?
I really appreciate your answer
Thank you."
