Falling in Love vs Staying in Love: The Science of Maintaining Your Romantic Connection Over Time: Episode 428

Falling in Love vs Staying in Love: The Science of Maintaining Your Romantic Connection Over Time: Episode 428

It's easy to look at movies or social media and wonder why love once felt effortless, and now feels quieter, more routine, or even distant. No one prepares you for the reality that long-term love doesn't stay fueled by novelty and adrenaline forever. As relationships mature, biology shifts, responsibilities increase, and especially after kids, connection can slowly give way to comfort… or worse, roommate energy. If you've ever thought, "Something's missing, but I don't know what," this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we unpack what's actually happening beneath the surface of long-term relationships and why closeness fades even when love is still there. You'll hear how subtle habits, attention leaks, and well-intentioned routines quietly work against connection; and what it takes to bring back energy, affection, and excitement in a sustainable way. This isn't about recreating the early days of your relationship, but learning how to actively maintain closeness, playfulness, and desire in the season you're in now.
