“Why don’t I feel in love anymore?”

“Help! Why is my relationship so boring?”

“How can my spouse and I reconnect for good?”

Why are long-term relationships so difficult? I'm a tremendous advocate for love, but the hard facts are pretty sobering: Only 11% of couples in long term relationships say that they still feel in love with their partner.

In this episode of Sex, Love & Elephants, I’m breaking down the complexities of long-term relationships, delving into the challenges that couples face in maintaining love and connection, and tackling the top 3 reasons committed couples split up.

You can be great parents together, have fun on the weekends as a family, and feel totally secure in your relationship
 Yet that sense of specialness, connection, and that you and I together against the world feeling still ends up lost in translation—but it doesn’t have to be that way!

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

(04:21) We often forget how lucky we are to be with our perfectly imperfect partner

(07:59) Psychological intimacy is integral to successful long term love

(11:59) Your partner isn’t wrong, they're just different from you

(20:18) Great relationships take hard work

(31:02) Today’s LoveByte
