My Top Three Tips for Building a Healthy Long Term Relationship

“Dr. Cheryl, how can I improve my relationship?”

“All my partner and I do is fight—will we ever stop?”

“How can my sweetheart and I bring back the spark we used to have?”

Keeping a long term relationship healthy is hard work—there’s no way of getting around that. But that doesn’t mean that having a strong, compassionate, loving, lasting relationship is impossible… It simply means that you both need the right tools in your toolbelt to build it. 

On this episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, I’m teaching you my top three tips for building a healthy relationship with actual staying power. 

Great relationships don’t just happen by chance. Today, I’m covering a huge part of the foundation of my relationship philosophy: the passion triangle of intimacy, thrill, and sensuality. A triangle is the most stable structure known to man—so why wouldn’t you want to base your relationship on one? 

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Conflict and conflict management are an unavoidable part of all relationships (06:23)
• We’re hardwired to find novelty exciting—that’s why new relationships have that honeymoon phase (11:35)
• Thrill needs to be cultivated (15:51)
• We are often more sexually adventurous early on in a relationship when we have less to lose (21:33)
• Today’s LoveByte (24:29)
