Our lives our busier than ever. It's easy for one partner in the relationship to feel like they no longer are a priority to the other partner. Work, hobbies and technology are just a few things that can begin to take priority over a partner.

In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

• The importance of understanding that no one is a priority all of the time.
