When we talk about the journey from surviving to thriving, one of the areas that can't be ignored is your closest personal relationship - most often a marriage or serious dating relationship. When that dynamic isn't operating at top-notch, it can become a cloud that hangs over everything you do (personally and professionally). On the flip side, when that relationship is going really well, it can be a safe haven when things get hard.

In this episode, Amanda sits down with Wade Johannes to talk about relationships, including:

• How your relationship is demonstration of your priorities
• A simple trick for benchmarking how your relationship is doing
• Considerations for creating an epic date night routine
• One of our favorite tools for making sure you and your significant other are speaking the same "language"

And more!

While we may want to draw a barrier between our "work life" and "personal life," many times that just isn't realistic. Taking care of your relationships is important and hopefully you'll find a few tips here for taking it to the next level!
