How do you cultivate the 3 different roles of Partner, Lover, and Friend in your singular relationship?

Summer tends to fly by, and it’s easy to find yourself swept up in the busyness. Suddenly it's September, and you realize you haven’t truly connected with your sweetheart. When you intentionally find time for each other, even in small ways, your relationship will grow stronger.

Today, I’m offering you 3 summer time dates to tend each of the three roles in your relationship: Partner, Friend, and Lover:

  1. We’ll talk about the balance of the 3 roles and why if The Partner isn’t getting what they need, it can harm your romantic life
  2. We’ll focus on all the ways that PLAY—that magic elixir of The Lover is good for calming down the neediness The Partner can bring to your relationship
  3. And why the Friend is always the bridge between the other two roles

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

Look for a date night where you can practice noticing all 3 roles--Partner, Friend, and Lover-- and how they contribute to the overall intimacy in your relationship.
