Episode 231
Monday, 5 May, 2025
In this episode, I'm diving into something that's absolutely crucial for keeping your relationship vibrant and alive - playfulness! While we're naturally playful during courtship, many couples lose that spark once they settle into the routine of committed life. But here's the thing - playfulness isn't about expensive vacations or grand gestures; it's about using your imagination to create magical moments in everyday life.In this episode, you'll discover:- Why maintaining playfulness is vital for long-term relationship satisfaction, and how the "functionality trap" can slowly drain the joy from your partnership- Simple, practical ways to inject spontaneity into your relationship - from impromptu dance sessions to surprise love notes (even if being playful doesn't come naturally to you)- How committed relationships can actually become a safe space for exploring new sides of yourself and taking chances with your partnerHere's something I've noticed in my years as a marriage therapist: I've never seen a couple's relationship get worse from adding more playfulness - it always improves! Whether you're naturally playful or not, this episode will give you actionable ways to bring more joy, spontaneity, and connection into your relationship, even on a regular Tuesday at 6 PM.Join me as we explore how to keep that playful spark alive in your relationship.
