we often see red flags used in the environment or sports to signal that conditions are dangerous or the current status has been deemed unsafe. sometimes it suggests to proceed with caution or in other instances requires you to immediately stop what you're doing. when we think about red flags in relationships, the term is used very similarly. something said or done by a person that signals their might be deeper issues within or potential dangers ahead. we talk through some of the red flags you guys submitted on todays episode

maybe you know your love language or maybe this is the first time you are hearing of the concept. it was created by Dr. Gary Chapman in his book "the 5 love languages" we list & describe each of the 5 love languages & discuss why they are important in successful relationships. we truly believe if both partners take the time to understand & implement this concept, it would intensify the depth of your relationship.

the ultimate purpose of marriage is to love each other until death do you part. that's the vows you typically take. it's being selfless, committed & honest. the second goal of marriage is to actually like the person you are spending the rest of your life with. so we've put together some tips that have helped us stay bffs & whether you're in a long term relationship, your married or newly married hopefully these will help you guys as well.

today we're going to be talking ab physical affection. physical touch is 1 of the 5 love languages. some ppl enjoy that & express physical affection openly & easily. others may not be as comfy or it's less desirable for them. maybe it's not 1 of their top love languages. regardless of where it lands on your list, we are covering the difference between sexual and nonsexual physical touch. what are some types? why is it important? does it really have health benefits? listen to the full convo & let us know ur thoughts

you asked. we answered. from who's ur ex to spicy sex, we covered it all. plenty of relationship advice for singles, fresh love & those of us married for years. you can watch us have this conversation on our yt channel betterhalfjk :)

one of the biggest moments in a relationship is deciding when to drop the L word or deciding if you even feel that way at all. it can be scary trying to sort through those feelings & making yourself vulnerable to your partner. some couples wait months to say it & others choose to say it within days. we had strong feelings out of the gate for each other, but chose to wait a while before saying I love you. so is there a best time? what does it truly mean? we discuss the ins and outs of making the leap from like to love - hope you enjoy :)

we have all heard the age old saying opposites attract, but is it true? we dissect a bit of our relationship to see if we are more alike or different & if that even matters. who knows, maybe there is a fruit that can give us more insight... or is it a vegetable? listen in on this week's conversation to find out
