This podcast offers inspiring insights, tips and tools, as well as support and coaching for devoted, committed couples. The listeners can develop attitudes and skills for enhancing and enriching their relationship on many levels. The programs depict the shift from dysfunctional relationship patterns to functional (”we get along ok”)lifestyles, to more soulful, vibrant partnerships. The more high-functioning the couple, the greater likelihood that they will positively impact their communities and the world. The ripple effect is potent! Topics such as effective communication, constructive problem-solving, dates, romance, spiritual connection, healing and joy are covered. Interviews with engaging couples and relationship experts will be scheduled throughout the year.
