Relationship expert warrior for love, Jonathon Aslay, shares insights, secrets and tips for zoning in on the perfect partner, and the ability to be radically authentic as a sexy, soul mate attracter. We have a blast discussing not only dating but exploring how to fortify relationships of all kind through compassionate communication. This one's a game-changer. 

• Curiosity + Intentionality are the doorways to secure connection.
• Attachment spotting: ask about past relationships; listen for ownership.
• NVC in 3 steps: what happened → how I feel/need → are you willing…?
• Appreciation daily: aim for ~80% positive acknowledgments—tiny, specific, frequent.
• Micro-rituals: 20–120 second hugs, “I see you when…,” bedtime check-ins, weekly “state of us.”
• Friendship first: prioritize liking each other—rabbit-hole chats, shared curiosity, play.
• Requests from love: trade criticism for clear, kind asks.
• Grief alchemized: asking “What would love do?” creates meaning and gentleness.

Try this tonight
