Is your relationship feeling a little flat? Like you used to laugh more, go on proper dates, and actually enjoy each other's company, but somewhere along the way life just got in the way?

In this episode of Ask Charlotte, I'm answering a listener question that I hear all the time: how do we have more fun in our relationship?

I cover:

• Why fun doesn't just happen and what to do about it
• How to figure out what you both actually enjoy (and why one person's preferences might be quietly dominating)
• The alphabet dating idea my husband and I used early on (and why I think we need to revisit it)
• Why scheduling fun is not the enemy of spontaneity
• The "micro fun" moments that build connection without needing a whole night out
• What to do when conflict, stress, or a packed schedule is the real barrier

I also share some of what the Gottman Institute's research says about the ratio of positive to negative interactions in happy relationships, because it's a game changer for how you think about the small stuff.

If you've been meaning to prioritise your relationship but keep letting it slip, this episode is your nudge.
