Are you a Romance Dud? 3 Tips for More Romance in 2024
Manage episode 396886272 series 2930026
“But Dr. Cheryl, don’t you know that romance is dead?”
“How can I be as sexy as those guys my wife reads about in her steamy books?”
“Will I ever stop waiting for my rom com meet-cute whirlwind romance?!”
It's pretty easy to be cynical about modern love. We’re so misled by the media and romantic comedies and romance novels about what love should look like that it can be really dangerous to our relationships. We have this illusion that love and romance need to be a certain way, but the truth is that real life relationships are a whole lot different than what we see on the screen or read on the page.
On this episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, I’m teaching you my biggest tips to create and sustain romance between you and your partner through 2024 and beyond.
When’s the last time you and your sweetheart really thought out of the box for a date night? What about exploring a whole new-to-you cuisine, stepping out of your typical movie genre box, or even learning to ice skate together (and sharing a laughing fit when you both end up on your bottoms!) It can be hard to get out of your comfortable rut, but branching out can bring some much needed spice and bonding time to a long term relationship.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
The most important predictor of happiness, health, and well being in our lives is the health and happiness of our romantic relationship (00:40)
Idealized portrayals of love can be damaging to our real life relationship (03:38)
Date nights are a no-brainer and a non-negotiable (04:38)
A great relationship is about taking action (11:16)
Expressing gratitude lowers your heart rate and your stress response (12:09)
Get off your butt and celebrate with your sweetheart (16:18)
