Mike and I took a bit of a hiatus, but we’re back at it and excited to share today’s topic: Staying connected. The truth is, whether in a blended family or not, it’s extremely important to stay connected to your partner through life’s ups and downs. If you’ve been with your partner for a while, you know that it takes effort to keep your relationship fun, rewarding, and fulfilling. Without that effort, you or your partner can begin to feel resentful, unappreciated, and unhappy. And it’s not all your partner’s responsibility. Each person needs to make the choice to have a successful relationship – and that choice comes with ownership, actions, and personal development work. Tune in to hear Mike and I reflect on the things we’ve learned, the things we’re working on, and the things that can help you, too. 01:00 – 03:30 - Introducing today’s topic: Staying connected 03:30 – 8:30 - What it takes to make a relationship succeed 08:30 – 14:00 - What Summer has learned about taking ownership 14:00 – 18:00 - Schedule private time with your partner 18:00 – 23:00 - Be nice to each other 23:00 – 26:30 - The takeaways
