Do you ever feel like the spark in your relationship is dwindling because of life's relentless demands? This episode is somewhat of a wake-up call, interweaving thought-provoking stories and humor while unpacking the intricacies of relationship dynamics. We started things light, chatting about our bustling lives, Starbucks' Halloween collection, and our love for the show Station 19. We also touched on an entertaining confusion moment about Nicole Parker and Nicole Murphy that you'll definitely get a kick out of. 

Transitioning into a more serious note, we dove into the concept of comfortability in relationships and how it's often a culprit for a lack of attention. Remember when you used to rub your partner's feet or prepared breakfast in bed? We reminisce about those little things that often get taken for granted once we get too comfortable. We also took the time to emphasize the essence of spontaneity and how breaking routines could breathe fresh life into relationships. Picture this: you're all dressed up for a surprise date in a fancy restaurant! We believe it's always a good idea to keep an extra outfit in your car; you'll never know when you'll need it.

Finally, we tackled the elephant in the room - the struggles of balancing life and relationships, a conversation sparked by Nicole Parker's interview about seeking attention in her marriage. We confronted societal norms branding life as a cycle of school, work, and retirement, challenging listeners (yes, that's you!) to value their own happiness and needs. We also dived into the differences between how men and women seek attention in relationships, accentuating the role that communication plays. We're excited for you to join us in this exploration, and we hope you'll walk away with the realization that it's okay to seek attention in a relationship, and that expressing gratitude towards our partners, regardless of how busy life is, is of paramount importance.
