“Dr. Cheryl, help! Why don’t I feel as committed to my spouse as I used to?”

“Why am I so scared to commit?”

“How do I revive my commitment to my partner?”


This episode of Sex, Love & Elephants is the second in a series about the rumored demise of long-term love. I'll be sharing my own expertise on the subject as well as interviewing experts in the field about love, sex, and communication.


We believe that if we get married or move in together or make another human that we are committed: “Now we're a family and we're more committed than ever!” But the statistics and our own life experience don’t necessarily prove that to be true…


How committed are you to your long term relationship? At some point, you did choose to commit to your partner—whether you’ve said “I do” or not
