About

Confronting Love explores issues about the evolving state of love and relationships. We focus on looking inward to shift outward, increasing love and understanding for both ourselves and those with whom we cross paths.

These issues — from dealing with unrequited love to the societal struggle faced by those in non-traditional relationships — have always been there, but only now are we exploring openly what it means to not fit into the boy-meets-girl-gets-married-has-two-point-five-kids ideal.

Confronting Love talks openly about divorce, grief, cheating, open relationships, finding the “one”, transgender relationships, crushes, communication, threesomes (and foursomes and fivesomes), having kids, not having kids, being gay, being bi-sexual, having no labels, having lots of labels, being alone, and every other possible issue that we struggle (and hopefully come to terms) with, when it comes to love.

This is not just for us. This is for you. We want to begin discussions, not end them. This is how we will confront love.
