Today Suketu & Hallie talk about being too comfortable in your relationship and how to fix that.

In this episode, hosts Suketu and Hallie dive deep into the all-too-familiar territory of getting a little too comfortable in your relationship. We've all been there – the initial excitement mellows into a routine, and before you know it, you're binge-watching TV shows in sweatpants without a care in the world. But is there such a thing as being too comfortable? Can it lead to complacency or even affect the spark you once had?

Join us as we explore the signs that you might be treading the fine line between comfort and complacency. We share personal anecdotes, relatable stories, and insights into how to bring back that excitement and connection you both crave. From spontaneous date ideas to communication strategies that rekindle intimacy, we're here to help you navigate the delicate balance between familiarity and keeping the flame alive.
