Episode 9: Between the Sheets

Unofficial Episode Title: In which we have a very frank conversation about intimacy in middle age. We chose to make our podcast anonymous so that we could talk about everything and this week we do just that!  From navigating early intimacy to dealing with the performance issues that come with age, we focus on how open communication and a sense of humour have helped us to stay connected even when things haven't quite gone to plan.

Episode 8: Taking Stock

Unofficial Episode Title: In which we answer some tricky questions and find out what each other is really thinking about our relationship. We are committed to doing things differently this time and that means regularly checking in with each other about how we feel about our relationship and where it is going.  So this week we are using the Relationship Check In Tool from www.lovesecurely.com [http://www.lovesecurely.com] to do a recorded 4-month check in that you can listen in on!

We haven't seen each other for three weeks because Kate has been travelling.  How will it feel to reconnect after spending 25% of our total relationship apart?  Will we feel closer or disconnected?  Will the physical chemistry still be there after three weeks of WhatsApp?

Episode 6: A Hot Getaway

Unofficial Episode Title: "In which we discover how much we love hot tubs!" This week we circle back to where it all began - when we recorded our first episode during a little mini break two months into our relationship.  It was a weekend of relaxation and fun and enjoying each other's company and a real turning point in our relationship.  Join us as we reminisce about this lovely getaway and also prepare to not see each other for the next three weeks!
