In long-term relationships, it's easy for partners to become too comfortable and neglect the continuous effort needed to maintain a healthy, fulfilling bond. While comfort is important, it should not lead to complacency, where emotional intimacy, communication, and romance are taken for granted. Relationships, like anything of value, require constant nurturing and growth. Failing to invest in these aspects can lead to dissatisfaction, disconnection, and eventual breakdown. A common misconception is that once a relationship is established, it will thrive on its own—but it takes intentional work to keep the spark alive.

In today’s world, divorce rates are notably higher compared to past generations, reflecting the changing dynamics of relationships. One key factor contributing to this trend is the failure to actively work on the relationship after the honeymoon phase fades. The concept of "dating your partner" in marriage becomes essential in keeping the relationship vibrant and resilient. To further unpack we are joined in studio by Linda Yende, Author, Speaker and Relationship Advisor.
