Dating Rehab with Anna Morgenstern

Understanding the Three Stages of Love with Bruce Muzik

In this episode, I sit down with world-renowned relationship repair specialist Bruce Muzik to discuss why conflict is actually a necessary part of building a healthy long-term relationship. We break down the three stages every couple goes through — romance, power struggle, and mature love — and why most relationships fall apart during the power struggle stage. Bruce explains how emotional safety, vulnerability, and communication are what truly sustain relationships long term, not just chemistry. If you’ve ever wondered whether fighting means you’re incompatible, this conversation will completely change your perspective on conflict, commitment, and connection.

Dating After Loss with G. Scott Graham

In this episode of Dating Rehab, I sit down with G. Scott Graham to talk about what it really looks like to date after loss. We discuss why grief isn’t something to “get over,” but rather a reflection of how deeply you’ve loved—and why you don’t need to erase your past in order to open yourself up to something new. Scott shares his personal experience getting back into dating after losing his spouse, including the guilt, overwhelm, and emotional complexity that can come with that first step forward. We also get into what actually makes relationships work long-term—moving beyond chemistry and focusing on commitment, emotional safety, and choosing each other through all stages of life. If you’ve ever questioned when you’re “ready” to date again, or how to open your heart after loss, this conversation will shift your perspective. Listen to the full episode for more.
