Grade Your Relationship: Pass or Fail? It’s Time For a Passion Performance Review

Sex, Love & Elephants with Dr. Cheryl

Dr. Cheryl, is it time to reconsider my relationship?

When did my hubby become so boring? 

My partner cheated on me—how do I get over it?

Have you ever done a relationship performance review? At work, your supervisor probably calls you in once a quarter or once a year. They give you feedback on where you're doing well, where you need to pick up the slack, and maybe even if you’re being considered for a promotion or in danger of being let go. 

On today’s episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, I’m talking all about the idea of a performance review—but this time, it’s not at your job, it’s a check in for you and your sweetheart. 

Does your partner know what's lighting you up these days? What makes you feel good? Do they know what you're worried about? Do they know what's on your mind? If you can’t answer all or any of these questions, it might be time for a review of your relationship.
