Ever feel like your spouse isn\u2019t listening? Some people think that dating and getting to know someone can be the hardest part of a relationship. It requires a great amount of effort on both parts to keep things progressing. However, the hardest part of a relationship is actually the stage that most largely encapsulates a relationship, the \u201ccomfortable phase\u201d. We know our partner so well we could tell you their schedule without hesitation. We know all of their stories and have heard all of their jokes. It\u2019s at this point in a relationship that a lot of people tend to tune the other spouse out and begin navigating on autopilot. This lack of effort can lead to feelings of disconnection with your spouse. Our guest today believes that mindfulness is what can will help to keep your relationship fresh and to keep you heard.<\/p>\n
