The Friend in your relationship wants to feel understood. The Friend comes from my 3-part framework: Partner, Lover, Friend. These are the three roles I’ve identified in your singular romantic relationship.
I’m out of town on vacation, so I’m bringing you an episode from my archives where I talk about The Friend.
- You’ll hear how The Friend thrives when you and your sweetheart have time to just hang out
- We’ll talk about why companionship builds trust between you and your sweetheart
- And I’ll give you a date night discussion prompt to make it easier to spot the ways you and your sweetheart are good companions.
