If you’ve been in a relationship for any amount of time, you understand the importance of maintenance. You also likely understand you can get to that point where your relationship becomes all about the obligatory maintenance instead of really connecting with your spouse.

The good news is, my guest today, author and motivational speaker Kristen Manieri, is here to discuss why you need to continuing dating your spouse even after you’re married, the importance of keeping your curiosity when it comes to your spouse, two essential questions to ask your spouse, whether or not your husband should be your best friend, why you should avoid double dates with other couples, and much more!

Real Talk

In this Real Talk segment, I respond to two listener submitted questions. The first is from a woman who wants to know what she can do to cope with negative thoughts that send her spiraling into depression. The second question is from a woman who feels her past failed relationships, and the death of her fiance, are an indication that doesn’t deserve love and happiness. Tune in to hear the advice I have for both of these ladies.
