    What To Do When It’s Been A While… (The Dry Spell Episode)

    What To Do When It’s Been A While… (The Dry Spell Episode)

    What do you do when it’s been a while…
    When you don’t remember the last time you had sex. When the idea of initiating feels even more awkward than usual. When you’re not sure if your partner is missing it the same way you are.
    In this episode, we’re breaking down why dry spells happen in the first place and telling you exactly how to get back on the horse. We’ll even answer the big question… do we NEED to have sex?

    How To Stop Feeling Resentment In Your Relationship

    How To Stop Feeling Resentment In Your Relationship

    A few weeks ago we asked our community if they felt resentment in their relationship and only 29% said no!

    Resentment doesn’t feel good for either partner, and it can lead to things like more stress, less sex, and lots of other serious consequences in your relationship.

    We decided it was time to create an episode breaking down what resentment is, where it comes from, and how to overcome it in your relationship.

    The Secret Foreplay Technique You Don’t Even Know About

    The Secret Foreplay Technique You Don’t Even Know About

    Imagine this… you’re crawling into bed at the end of the night, thinking, “Hmmm sex sounds nice.”
    We hate to break it to you, but you’re too late! You needed to have been planning for this much earlier in the day. You needed to be using our unique approach to foreplay.
    Most of us think of foreplay as the stuff we do for 30 seconds before we move on to intercourse, but it’s so much more than that. Today we’re telling you about the magic of all-day, non-sexual foreplay.

    Breaking Down A Text Fight

    Breaking Down A Text Fight

    You’ve had a fight over text message with your partner, right? Most of us have! Maybe you sent a text to your partner that was a little too snarky, or maybe you read too much into a message. Odds are your text fight did not end well…
     
    Today we’re breaking down a real text fight one of our followers sent in. It started off as a fight over facial hair, but like most fights do, evolved into something much deeper. We covered topics like body confidence, broken trust, and validation. We point out the things they did right, and the ways things went oh so wrong. You’ll get a fascinating sneak peek into another couple’s conflict, plus tons of communication tips along the way.
