Robyn and Phil dive into the new-ish Netflix show Love is Blind and discuss strategies for effective arguing, when is the best time to share a secret, and whether it matters if you can see your potential mate if there is a probability they will be conventionally attractive anyway. We also have a new segment where we pick an issue that we don't see eye to eye on and debate who's way is better. Today's debate: the correct sandwich ratio. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/LU-LiB-complete.mp3 We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Statistics say that over 1/3 of couples list money as their biggest point of contention in their relationship. Phil and Robyn have never had a single fight about money, so after a boring date at the bank, they decided to talk about how managing money in your relationship doesn't have to be stressful. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/LU-Money-complete.mp3 We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Just like physical health, we all have mental health and we have good days and bad days. So why is it so much easier to tell your partner when you have a headache and ask them to bring you a Tylenol, than it is to say that you're feeling depressed and need something more? In this episode, Phil and Robyn discuss some of their own mental health challenges and chat about how they've learned to navigate those hurdles when one of them is having a bad day (or month). https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/LU-MH-Complete.mp3 We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Romantic comedies are a theatrical staple. They tug at our heartstrings, they make us laugh, they make us cry, they make us...cringe We fully acknowledge that there's a lot about rom coms that can be problematic they are most often white, super hetero-normative, and filled with tropes that teach very wrong ideas about love. And yet, even knowing all that, there are some that hold special places in our hearts. On the first episode of Season 2 of Love Uncovered, Phil and Robyn discuss their favourite rom coms, why they stick with us, and they look at some of the issues that seem to be integral to the genre. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/LU-rom-com.mp3 We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Vacations are supposed to be fun but sometimes travelling with your significant other can be super stressful.

From being flexible in your plans, being open to new experiences, scheduling in some alone time, and demystifying hotel sex, we are here to help navigate some of the pitfalls of travelling with your partner (It also gives us an excuse to talk about our recent trip to Ireland).

Sometimes on The One, it's all super-cutesy romance, and other times there’s a surprising amount poop-talk. Today’s episode, featuring Trent and Elizabeth, has a little bit of everything. This is a couple who aren’t shy to open up about their struggles and how their love for each other makes it all work https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/elizatrent-complete.m4a If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

When in a relationship, there are certain roles that we take on. Whether they are of a practical nature, like mowing the lawn or cooking dinner, or the things that we do every day, but maybe never take notice of, like being cheerleader or a  negotiator. These relationship roles may be fluid, passing easily from one person to the next depending on the situation, or they might be deeply entrenched and rigid. They may adhere to expected gender roles, or go willfully against them. On today’s special episode of The One, I’ve enlisted the help of Chris, Hannah, John, Danica and, of course, Phil to each give their thoughts on the roles within their own relationships. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/roles-complete.m4a If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

Sometimes 2 people just seem destined from the start. They develop a comfort and camaraderie with each other before even meeting face to face. That’s how it felt for Phil and me. On this episode of The One, you’ll hear how I threw caution to the wind by going for a midnight ride with a weird dude, learn why nausea makes me feel nostalgic and you can weigh in on our contentious fork vs spoon debate. As a special bonus, doing the hosting duties on this week’s episode is Adam Rozenhart, one of my favourite people and host of his own fantastic podcast, The Expats. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/philbyn-final.m4a If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

A couple of years after meeting in an online, video game chat room, Colette jumped on a plane to meet Chris in Michigan. She ignored her friends’ concerns about meeting a “strange man” online, brushed off their disastrous first date via Skype, and hoped for the best. What she got was a love story that contains passionate whisker burns, sage advice from a New York cabbie and a hotel room with a see-through bathroom wall. In this week’s episode of The One, Chris and Colette share their story from chat room to storybook and all the miles in between. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/chrilette-complete.mp3 If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you stopped and thought, “This moment, right now, could change my life forever.” That’s exactly what Tineke thought when Teyler walked up and started talking to her as she waited in line.

On this week’s episode of The One, we find out what happens when 2 theatrical individuals who both have an affinity for blood and gore meet and fall in love? As Kat and John show us, it’s a surprisingly shmoopy collaboration that results in all kinds of productions, including the incredibly popular and creepy cabin room at Escape City   https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/katjohn-complete.mp3 If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

This week’s episode of The One will teach you how to woo a commitment-phobe. It’s simple, really. You just need a lot of patience, months of persistence, and a promise of marriage before your first date. But if you ask Kreg, I know he’ll tell you that Marissa was more than worth the effort. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/marisskreg-complete.mp3 If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can work together to keep a little love in the air.

Just for a moment, I want you to imagine a romantic comedy, created by aliens specifically for their viewing pleasure… Does it look a little like a burlesque dancer and an improviser going on nap dates and getting swarmed by mosquitos during a meteor shower? Whether their relationship was constructed by aliens or not, that is the romantic reality for Sarah and Julian, my guests this week on The One. You can see Julian on stage with Rapid Fire Theatre, and catch Sarah as her burlesque alter ego, Violette Coquette. To hear more of this great couple together, check out their new series Sports with Sarah and Jules. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Saralian-complete.mp3 If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can open the world up to the beauty of love in all its forms.

Hannah and David’s love story sounds like it came straight of out an episode of the Andy Griffiths Show: High school sweethearts, who grew up to be a police officer and a nurse, and had 4 children. Thankfully, there is so much more to these two, and they approach their relationship with far less shmaltz than you would ever expect to see in Mayberry. https://www.loveuncoveredpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Davannah-complete.mp3 If you know of love story that you think I should showcase on a future episode of The One, have them send me an email at: lovestorypodcast@gmail.com Or send me a message yourself, and we can open the world up to the beauty of love in all its forms.
