In this Episode, hosts David and Debra take a little time to introduce themselves and briefly talk about some of the challenges faced while being married 25 years.

With a special guest Cassie, the theme of this episode revolves around beginning and maintaining a relationship; fast-moving relationships, sticking at it, the death of first love (and holding a candle). Cassie discusses navigating Social media within your relationship and the constant comparisons and the struggle to feel secure in relationship.

We also touch on finding relationships face-to-face vs social media, online judging and how dating has changed; monogamy and the legacy of one night stands. Cassie talks briefly about growing-up with social media and questions ‘to post?’ or ‘not to post’? (are some things too important to post?).

The episode rounds-off with a discussion around five communication keys for a healthy relationship;

1. Be sensitive,
2. Be honest (and understand what honesty means to your partner),
3. Create safety,
4. See and acknowledge your partner’s perspective and
5. Understand that all your words have meaning to your partner (even if you don’t mean it).
