The absolute worst place to get relationship advice?

Friends and family members.

Unless of course, they live and breathe what you aspire to and you know for certain they live it daily. Going to family for relationship advice is like asking them if they can help you navigate an Everest climb. No way. They have no idea what they are talking about. When it comes to relationship, they haven’t studied human beings for decades formally and they are not trained to help people with their inner-most relationship problems. They are of no help.

Yes, your family and friends may be able to help you with art, real estate, your golf game, picking out a great restaurant, or teaching you about acupuncture. But unless they study themselves and human beings for a living, they are pretty useless in the relationship department…
