On today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Annabelle Seife, Ph.D., Couples Therapist + Founder of ‘Before the Leap’. We discuss how much fighting is healthy vs. ideal, how to properly deal with your in-laws, skills you need to take into your marriage, avoiding spiraling once a fight starts, how to know what pace to go at, interfaith relationships, getting in depth about parenting styles, all the topics that need to be discussed before the leap, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss identity crisis in relationships, verbiage to nudge for engagement, how to say no to a friend's wedding, being more confident in your 30's, how long is too long to have a FWB, balancing time with SO and friends when you don't live together, practical sex advice, and the pros and cons of dating someone who "isn't your type.”
