095- Reigniting the Spark In Long Term Relationships: Rituals That Will Save From Divorce
Host Samantha and co-host Anthony discuss the tricky nature of long term relationships and that "holy, horny, and honest wisdom" you are here for. They drop a pretty controversial hot take right at the beginning: maybe you do not actually get the spark back. They compare it to losing your childhood; you cannot go back, but you can absolutely learn how to play again. If you feel like you are searching for something you lost, this episode is definitely for you.
They get into the real reasons connections fade, and it is usually not one big dramatic event. Instead, they explore the idea of disconnection as a "death by a million paper cuts." They ask why so many couples end up feeling burned out and busted, stuck on the same joyless page. This leads them to a deep dive on the work of Esther Perel.
So how do you fix it? Samantha and Anthony explore how to bring new life into a partnership without sacrificing that feeling of safety. They touch on the importance of polarity (hello, David Deida) and what happens when partners become too similar.
