Episode description

We explore how our relationships can slowly move towards an energy of predictability and monotony. Here's what we cover in this potent episode:

  • Strategies to break out of normality to bring spice back
  • Use intentional planning to find adventure and unpredictability again

Basic human needs - predictability vs unpredictability

1. Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasure

2. Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli

Phases of the relationship - The chemistry naturally fades so we can’t rely on that anymore!

  • In our weeks, months and years
  • In a physical sense (bedroom)
  • In our personal growth 
  • In our conversations 

We expand on these hot tips for YOU:

  1. Embrace spontaneity
  2. Explore new hobbies together
  3. Plan surprise getaways, dates or experiences
  4. Surprise your partner with thoughtfully planned dates or experiences
  5. Fostering open communication
  6. Trying new things in the bedroom
