Steven Lake has done it all: single, common-law, married, and divorced. As he says, “been there, done that.” His work with couples inspired him to write talk2ME: How to Communicate with Women and The Sex Formula. Steven thanks his lucky stars every day for having found the love of his life and they have been together for the past 19 years. “It hasn’t always been easy, we have had our share of challenges like any couple. However, we have always communicated and been willing to improve the relationship.” Intimate relationships are a passion for Steven and he is an editor and writer for the Marriage section of The Good Men Project.

• Do you use drugs/alcohol to cope with life (aka – self-medicating)
• Are you starting to realize you are not in control?
