Query: Hi! I’m a freelance writer working on a story for Twill Health/Happify.com about how to help someone who is struggling with mental health challenges. Ideally, I’d like to interview a Ph.D. or psychiatrist (MD) who is either a faculty member at a college or university or in private practice. The story deals with how you can help a friend or loved one who is clearly going through something, signs of distress, etc.

• Email: query-fr3v@helpareporter.net
• Media Outlet: Everyday Health
• Deadline: 7:00 PM EST – 22 September

Query: I need to interview at least 2 marriage/family counselors or psychologists specializing in family and relationships to have them answer the following questions:

1. Why might even healthy relationships (not relationships with toxic problems or abuse) eventually come to an end?
2. Are there any stats on the typical length of a relationship?
3. What are some common reasons for relationships to end (again, not for abuse or major problems, but more benign yet important issues, maybe the common “irreconcilable differences” that are often cited in divorces)? Why do these reasons often result in a relationship ending? (I’m looking for a total of 6-9 different reasons)
4. Can any of these issues be identified and hashed out before getting into a serious relationship, or do they tend to be issues that arise over the course of a relationship that are harder to identify/resolve in advance?

Requirements: Must be LMFT or psychologists who work with couples/families, etc
