Welcome to another episode of our late-night podcast for insomniacs. Sara runs on empty, and Anna's cat auditions for a part in Star Wars as she recovers. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of maintaining relationships, the art of asking the right questions, and how to handle disagreements healthily. We also touch on the delicate topic of going through a separation after a long-term relationship while still cohabitating. Join us as we explore practical advice and share personal anecdotes to help you navigate these challenging situations.
 
Love Desk: The art of asking, do you ask your partner questions about things you don't know? Most people think they are good listeners, but 97% only retain a tiny part of the information shared. 
 
Hot Topic: Are disagreements part of everyday relationships?
How does conflict show up for you in your relationship? Are you avoiding conflict, and is this happening anyway? 
Conflict is normal, but the key is ensuring it is healthy. Artificial harmony and meanness are not healthy styles of conflict. Stay curious, explore both sides and let go of things that aren't important. 
 
Question: "What advice do you have for a person going through a separation after 19 years? They have never experienced this because it is their only relationship. They feel like their world is falling apart but must stay roommates."
Listen to the insights offered on setting boundaries, maintaining individual identity, and the importance of self-care during such a transition.

Sara is still feeling comfy and cosy in warm winter sweaters. Anna's, for some reason, is chatting about baby wipes. She always brings an element of surprise. 
 
Love Desk: Science suggests that sleeping with your partner improves your sleep. Gain intriguing insights derived from scientific studies about sleeping better together or apart. What's your verdict?
Tune in to learn more about co-sleeping and Anna's Excel spreadsheet. 
 
Hot Topic: Have you chosen your hard in your relationship? 
Exploring what choosing your hard means, as two coaches of couples and individuals in relationships, Anna and Sara discuss what this means for your relationship. It's hard to leave, but it's also hard to stay. Which side is going to be the hardest? 
Questions: Since I've moved in with my partner, I've started to see a different side to him. He's always in a bad mood around the house because of his financial situation, and there isn't much romance left. I feel like we rushed things. It was a panic because of the money situation. Should I break up with him?
This is an excellent follow-up to the hot topic. Couples will inevitably relax after they move in together, which can cause a loss of closeness, connection, and intimacy. On top of this, financial pressure will only magnify this. Moving out of this situation can feel black and white; you're either in or out. There is more to this; further exploration is needed to work through this and make a conscious decision. It's time to lean into the challenge. 
It always ends on a food note, and this week, Sara is making Pad Thai in the @Thermomix. Perhaps they should switch to a food podcast instead.

Welcome to the podcast!
 
Our hosts navigate the fascinating concepts of love and commitment. Covering topics ranging from the joy of revived romance after half a century to the concerning downfall in marriage rates, this discussion dives into the rich facets of relationships. 
 
Love Desk: The podcast begins with a touching recounting of a couple who return to Jersey, united after 45 years of separate lives, asserting that true love withstands the test of time.
 
Hot Topic: Why are marriage rates on the decline?
Discussing deeper concerns, about the declining marriage rates, its future impacts, and what it signifies for society's view on traditional marital commitment. Additional topics examined include the reality of marriage duration and its repercussions on cohabitation, faith, and financial aspects.
 
Marriage and Self-Achievement: Exploring the Positive Outcomes of Marital Stability
Insights are provided into both tangible and intangible benefits of marriage on personal accomplishment.

Toward the end, optimism fills the air as the conversation anticipates the positive changes that Gen Z could bring to future marriage trends.
 
Navigating Change in Long-Term Relationships: Fostering Self-Exploration and Personal Growth
Delving into personal fulfilment and relationship dynamics, the show explores the unsettled feelings that may crop up in enduring relationships. Emphasizing the importance of recognizing internal dialogue, the episode discourages the blame game and promotes open communication for personal growth.
 
Question: "I'm starting to get itchy feet and I can't explain it but I'm ready for a shift or change in life. The last time I felt like this, I ended up divorced. There were other issues too. I'm in a long-term relationship but we aren't married. I'm not sure how to play it or whether to say anything. I feel like they are happy and settled but something is missing for me, some personal fulfilment."
 
As the conversation moves forward, it underlines the stabilizing effect a relationship can have on career changes and debunks assumptions that could warp our perceptions of our partner's supportiveness. Ending on a high note, the hosts accentuate the value of nurturing curiosity, open communication, and delaying instant reactions to feelings of unrest. Encouraging listeners to delight in safe self-exploration within relationships, the episode stresses the importance of evolving as an individual while deepening the bond with a partner.

In a rare occurrence on the Podcast, the girls deviate from their usual show format. In this eye-opening episode, they delve into the concept of a 'Relationship Reset'—an open and honest conversation about overcoming relationship challenges and embracing growth and change for a better relationship dynamic. From understanding personal roles in a relationship to breaking negative patterns that may sabotage your connection, this episode sheds light on how to approach relationship issues effectively and proactively.
They dive deep into the everyday challenges couples often face, such as conflict, communication issues, intimacy, and their impact on your relationship. They discuss the importance of shifting from a negative to a positive bias in relationships, focusing on strengths and potential for growth. Self-sabotaging tendencies often arise from deep-inset fears and insecurities; learn how a relationship reset can counteract these detrimental behaviours and foster healthier connections.
Further into the episode, the discussion leads to the importance of self-awareness and continuous personal growth within relationships. Noticing the patterns in your behaviour, changing the dynamics of an argument and making small but significant steps can lead to a lasting relationship. Their conversation also includes a detailed look into 'Relationship Reset', a 12-week course designed to help couples navigate the rough patches of their relationship through constant learning and adaptation.
The Relationship Reset is a 12-week course, delivered in weekly bitesize modules so as not to be overwhelming. You can take this on your own or with your partner. It takes you through why you face the everyday challenges in your relationship, and you can learn about your attachment style and your partners. You can understand how to get more kindness and compassion in your relationship and build on your strengths. Move beyond hopelessness in your relationship, start taking action in a small, achievable way and make a difference in your relationship.
Finally, they address taking responsibility for personal actions rather than shifting blame onto partners. As they wrap up, they provide comforting assurance that it is never too late to work on your relationship, reinstating the significance of open communication, understanding and breaking the cycle of destructive patterns.
Listen in and unearth the tools needed to breathe new life into your relationship and awaken the possibilities of lasting love!
