Today is a tough but important podcast.  I talk about my past abusive relationship and about how the memories and moments that changed you may not be the same for other people.  We should always be mindful that we are making memories and also be able to let go when closure doesn't look like how you pictured it. We are always making memories, just be sure you are making the kind you want to be remembered for.

This show is dedicated to horrible dating profiles.  Dave and I browsed the Craigslist dating profiles and I'm here to tell you people it's not pretty. First we ask WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU POST THAT? And then we give some tips on how to tweak that profile into something more successful. I think I need a mental palate cleanser now....

Now that Dave and I have been married for a year.  We thought it was best to revisit this legally binding decision and see how we feel about our marriage now.  Was it what we thought it would be?  Do we want to keep this party going?

Sure the falling in love part of a relationship is pretty awesome.  It's all fireworks, chemistry and everyone is perfect.  Then one day it happens, reality sets in.So what happens after being crazy in love?  Is that all there is? 

Technology offers us some pretty amazing things. We can talk to and see loved ones whenever we want, we can find love, we can find jobs, relocate easily.  Basically all the words information is at our fingertips. Technology also has some downsides like changing the way we communicate and what we communicate.Today Dave and I discuss technology and it’s impact on our relationships. How has technology changed the way you relate to people?

If you're on LinkedIn you may or may not know some people are looking for love and using Linkedin like a dating site. And now others are building apps to make that even easier.  Where are the boundaries between social and business?  I have very strong feelings about all of that and share my thoughts.Do you think LinkedIn should be used for finding love?UPDATE: I actually heard from a representatives of one of the apps that uses Linkedin profiles for dating and they clarified that people have to opt in to be included as a potential match, it doesn't just pull everybody, which makes me feel a bit better. But the bottom line is I still find the idea to be off putting and it encourages the use of Linkedin data in a way that is totally unnecessary. If you want to date, use dating sites.  I don't want to have to worry if people are puffing up their LinkedIn profiles because they are angling for a date.

I don't think any relationship is a waste of time.  There is always something to be learned.  Dave and I have both had long term relationships before we met and we consciously decided there was stuff we weren't going to bring with us into our relationship. We talk about what we aren't gonna do this time around married to each other.What do you want to leave behind as you move into a healthy relationship?  Remember that baggage is heavy, so why not lighten the load and make something fabulous together!

I know we like to stay in the warm safe cocoon of our comfort zone...I mean come on the word "comfort" is right in the title.  But sometimes if we want to continue to grow, learn and improve we have to step outside of that comfort zone and be adventurous.Today we talk about our own struggles with comfort zones in relation to work, travel and relationships.  In our own relationship we encourage each other to try new things and seek new perspectives and it keeps the relationship interesting!Ready to try something new?
