Ep. 04. You Have To Keep Dating Your Partner
Episode 4
Tuesday, 14 April, 2020

In this episode I discuss the reason why I always talk about continuing to date your partner. We discuss the difference between love and a lover. Both are important. Both are a part of your relationship. And both need to be in the spotlight. Love is a word we throw out with different meanings. We say we love to grill steak, but then we say I love you. And yet, both statements are true. Love is showing care. Love is proving. A lover is someone we desire, we long for them, and we are curious about them. Being in love and having a lover are both points of amazing connection in your relationship. In addition to the importance of connection, I provide some psychoeducation surrounding the prediction of a divorce or a breakup. Research shows how a lack of dating or a lack of solid connections negatively impacts our relationships – both for our present, our future, and surprisingly, even our past. But how? You can learn more about feeding your positive connections, learn about a predictor of divorce, and more, so stay tuned!
