Listen Later

Hello sexy and welcome back to the Sexyfit Podcast!

We are wrapping up our love series and so far we’ve mostly discussed why we are so single and how to get a dude. But what happens once we have him and we’re in a relationship? Let me tell you, a whole new set of challenges kicks in. My expert today will shine a light on how to do the dance called long-term relationship.

Jayson Gaddis is a relationship geek and the host of the Smart Couple Podcast. He is on a mission to teach people the one class they didn’t get in school--”How to do intimate relationships.” He was emotionally constipated for years before relationship failure forced him to master relationships. Now, he’s married to his amazing wife of 8 years and has two beautiful kids. Jayson is a blogger and writer for Integral Life, Primer Magazine, Digital Romance, Elephant Journal, and The Good Men Project.

In this interview Jayson and I spoke about how to keep a relationship going and what to do to find that spark again. We also spoke about some of the non-negotiable needs we have to agree on in a relationship, how to resolve conflicts and have an honest communication with our partner. We touched on a subject of emotional unavailability of men and women, its historical context, and what to do if you are in a relationship with someone like that.

Keep your ears wide open sisters, you want to hear the wisdom of a man who went through it all, and knows what we as women can do to master this relationship dance.
