Feeling a Bit Like Roommates With Your Partner? Implement These 3 Things Episode 101

Feeling a Bit Like Roommates With Your Partner? Implement These 3 Things Episode 101

Of course this seems like something that could never happen, but being honest, do you feel like you and your partner are just high functioning roommates? We are not talking about your actual college roommates, but at some point the experience of aliveness, passion, and being prioritized was overtaken by getting things done, having half conversations, and even disconnection.

This is happening for a lot of couples in the season however, as even mentioned by Chris Rock this week on SNL (eluding to the 34% rise in divorce rates over last year). Couples like you are finding themselves in difficult places and reevaluating the relationship.

In this episode we give you 3 things to focus on and implement so that you get out of just feeling like roommates and get back to co-creating your life together that doesn't have to look like anyone else's relationship, or how your relationship was in the past.
