Habits for Your Happily Ever After

Desire, Instinct, & a Date Night for Lovers


Listen Later

Passion fades when The Lover starves. Desire needs attention. This week we plan a date night for The Lover in your relationship   

Most people focus on the activity for their date night. While activity matters far more for The Lover Role than either Partner or Friend, I’m still going to invite you to start with a dream. What do you want this date to do for your relationship?

If you’ve been listening to my podcast for a while, you know that I believe there are three roles inside your singular relationship: Partner, Friend, and Lover.

  • The Partner helps you ACHIEVE and you feel bonded as teammates.
  • The Friend understands you and, thus, you feel like you BELONG.
  • The Lover WANTS you, and when you feel wanted, your confidence soars.

Design Your Date Night 3-Part Series

This episode is the last in a 3-part series to help you understand the three roles inside your singular relationship, and how each of them need just a little different type of nurturance.

Our goal today is to understand what The Lover needs in a date night.

What is it that creates a great date night for The Lover Role in your relationship?

Today we discuss the power of a date night dedicated to The Lover Role inside your relationship.

  1. We’ll talk about why feed The Lover keeps your relationship juicy and vital
  2. We’ll discuss desire and why it can be scary to WANT things from your Lover or even your life
  3. And I’ll give you a recipe for facing your fears about desire that will energize your relationship

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week’s habit for your happily ever after is to come up with date night ideas for The Lover Role in your relationship.

Date Night Discussion

As you discuss your desire and your fears about receiving what you want with your partner this week, answer this question:

  • When have we done something together that scared one or both of us, and then, afterward, we felt a surge of joy, confidence or connection?
