In Episode 1, you heard a sneak-peak of an interview that host Nathan Holritz held with his Grandfather about his 66-year marriage. In this episode, hear the full-length version of that same interview - and get both challenging and inspirational insight into how to love your partner in a way that enables a fulfilling, long-term romantic relationship.

In this episode, host Nathan Holritz addresses some important details about the Deciding to Love show - before sharing what led him to start it in the first place. Learn how Nathan's past shaped his psychology, and helped form a motivation to create a show that would add value to the lives of those who want to be or are in long-term romantic relationships.

Empathy is a lost art in long-term romantic relationships - and yet, it's one of the most impactful behaviors we can demonstrate to our partner in an effort to love them well and keep the spark alive. Listen in to a conversation I had with my late Grandfather, Bernie, a few years back about how he showed his wife, Jeanette, of 66 years a deep sense of empathy and love in their beautiful relationship. I hope you'll find encouragement, challenge, and inspiration in this episode as we move into the New Year!

Deciding to Love is a new podcast coming January 1, 2026!

Long-term romantic relationships tend to fade with time. The relationship that used to bring excitement, adventure, and a deep sense of connection and fulfillment to your life now leaves you feeling annoyed and frustrated. Most couples accept a relationship that feels like half of what it used to be, learning to put up with their partner begrudgingly.

But we don't think it has to be that way.

At the Deciding to Love podcast, we're going to explore and share the building blocks that help create and sustain happy, enjoyable, long-term romantic relationships - so that your relationship can be something you're excited about again!
