    198 - Laugh Before You Cry: Divorce Proof Your Marriage - Encore

    Welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast with your host Stuart Fensterheim. This week Stuart is lightening things up with a podcast on how humor and positivity can create an attitude and purpose in your relationship that will transform your lives. Gratitude and appreciation are key ingredients in a loving relationship. Ways of showing love are showing appreciation, sharing your feelings, making your partner feel special and making them feel important. Small changes in behavior such as showing affection, a simple hug and kiss makes a huge difference. You can’t compel someone to do this; it has to come from the heart. We can ask for what we need and when our partner gives it to us, we need to recognize that as a huge step forward from what your relationship dynamic might have been in the past. What you’ll learn from today’s podcast: Ways to show gratitude to your partner  [7:09] Courting behavior and what it does for you as a couple [19:05] Learning the love language in multi-media [20:10] Sharing your passions and hobbies [24:30] Humor and keeping life fun [30:55] Couples Weekend: The Two Days and 7 Conversations Weekend sponsors The Couples Experts Podcast.

    192 - Wheres the fire I feel like your my roommate - Encore

    Hello and welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast with your host Stuart Fensterheim. This is episode 146 of our show. We’re so happy that you’re here with us for the show. Today Stuart is discussing an all too common scenario for couples: When two people in a committed relationship end up living like roommates instead of lovers.  Listen in while Stuart addresses this familiar problem. Stuart often talks about the significance of 6 years. That’s the average amount of time that couples live with their problems before they seek help from a relationship counselor. Those 6 years can be a time of strife and conflict; or it can be a time of reducing your relationship to living as roommates. This is a terrible feeling either way. Feeling alone is so painful. What you’ll learn from today’s podcast: The pain of having roommates [2:25] It’s painful to live without connection  [4:00] It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together [8:20] Hallway sex- Where’s the passion? [9:04] Why you need to keep passion a priority [10:40] How to keep it interesting; keep your partner in mind  [12:12] No one wants a roommate when they can have a great love   [22:25]   If you’re living separate lives, you aren’t working on your relationship TWEET THIS   If you’re living separate lives, you aren’t working on your relationship. In order to keep the passion and the love alive, you must make your relationship the priority. Spend time together, have adventures and make memories.  It’s all about the connection and keeping that passion for your life together.  Keeping that emotional connection is the only way to keep your relationship from deteriorating into roommate status. We cannot assume our partner knows how important they are to us. We have to never take them for granted, and to always let them know that they are the most important person in life to us. Invest your time and care into your relationship. Surprise your partner, send them gifts, show them that you’re thinking of them. Court them, keep the romance alive. In order to avoid the roommate feeling you have to keep the passion alive. Take your partner and get away a couple of times a year. Date nights once a month, or more often as possible. These things are crucial to avoiding the roommate issue. It doesn’t matter how busy you are, you can find the time if it’s important to you. Don’t make excuses, don’t cop out. This is important. Treat your relationship with the care and concern it deserves. Be kind and sweet to one another and keep your emotional connection strong. It takes commitment on both your parts. It’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it. Subscribe: You can subscribe to The Couples Expert Podcast on iTunes.
