Our sexual thoughts can be unruly and strange—but sharing these unique parts of ourselves with a spouse can be a powerful way to build intimacy and connection.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer answers questions from our Facebook Group about the role of fantasy in long-term relationships. She explores why fantasy often feels taboo, and how—when grounded in morality and friendship—it can become a meaningful tool for strengthening intimacy and deepening connection.

Taking responsibility for ourselves and for our limitations is fundamental to good relationships.

Healthy shame is our ability to recognize and be accountable for our limitations. It’s our willingness to see ourselves as we really are — human and imperfect, but still valuable.

Conflict is a natural outgrowth of two people trying to forge a life together and it presents a remarkable opportunity for growth if we allow it.

When we disagree with our spouse, we often go to behaviors that lead to hurt and frustration (like defensiveness!) rather than making a concerted effort to engage often counter-intuitive, but more productive and collaborative responses.

Dr. Jennifer’s Relationship Reboot mini-course will help you see and address these intuitive (but destructive) behaviors and give you tools to handle your differences and disappointments with more maturity and wisdom.

If you want to create a better relationship, this course will get you on the right track (and it's only $39!):
