Dealing with Differences & Triggers – continued!
Following on from our introduction two weeks ago, today we get stuck into the theme of ‘Dealing with Differences & Triggers’. From the best to the most difficult relationship – no two people can always agree on absolutely everything – so how do we manage our differences and what can we do to minimise triggers? […]
Dealing with Differences & Triggers – An Intro!
There’s a whole lot of relationship news since our last podcast including, stuff about divorce day post the Christmas period as well as positive headlines about the UK’s fastest falling divorce rates across Europe, not to mention Meghan and Harry big statement! So we introduce our theme and get stuck into topics like the forever […]
Happy Stressmas!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Stressmas! Will it be a ‘Merry Little Christmas’, will it be a ‘White Christmas’ or the ‘Nightmare before Christmas’? According to the movies and songs, this should be the most wonderful time of the year, but it can in fact be one of the most stressful times of […]
Infidelity – why can it happen when we don’t think it’s right?
Following Michaela’s interviews on several BBC Regional Radio stations, we thought we’d reflect on the tricky subject of infidelity and the findings of a morality survey conducted by the BBC which found that 3 in 5 adults (60%) who say they have been unfaithful to their partner also say it’s never acceptable to cheat. So […]
‘Happily Ever After’ – Part 2

Following our own personal experience of sharing an interest that just one of us has (this is the dancing […]
Anniversaries -Should we celebrate milestones?
Are anniversaries and milestones in a relationship really that important? If you’re still together and nothing has really changed, is there any point? Isn’t it just another marketing ploy of big card manufacturers, making us feel guilty if we don’t even buy a card to celebration our love?! Or is the previous statement, simply the […]
Public Displays of Affection – good or bad?
Do public displays of affection melt your heart or do they make you think yuck?! Do you and your partner think they are a good idea or a bad idea? Do you have a difference of opinion on this matter and how do you manage that? Do we really need to display our affection in […]
‘Date Nights’ and what is real Intimacy?
As couples, simply getting out of the house, away from chores, demands of family life and going on an actual date can seem unnecessary and perhaps tricky to organise. However, we did just that recently and want to tell you why we think it’s so important for couples and why we plan to make sure […]
