Summary
In this difficult, impactful episode, Danielle and Adam get real and raw about some pretty complicated issues they've been dealing with recently. Danielle attempts to "walk the walk" concerning her changing expectations and "demands" about which she talked in the Letting My Freak Flag Fly episode. What set it all off? What influences have led to her fresh understanding of what a partnership should look like? How can Danielle and Adam move forward and not fall back into old patterns? This episode is emotional, vulnerable, relatable, and informative. This is one of those episodes you'll definitely want to send to your partner, or anyone else who might benefit from hearing some "real talk" about struggling through a phase of marriage.
Some other topics and issues covered:
- What is a "gray divorce," and why are they becoming more and more popular?
- What archaic terms and ideals need to be rewritten with new expectations about roles and commitment?
- How can we experience intimacy in a way that's as powerful outside of the bedroom as inside?
- How does upbringing complicate our relationships?
- What happens when one partner is manifesting love in all the ways, and the other is lacking in their display of affection and adoration?
- Why do women initiate such a high percentage of divorces?
- How do we realign after a period of disconnect?
