Love & Life Elevated

What Really Keeps Desire Alive in Long-Term Relationships


Listen Later

We've all heard the idea that doing housework is the ultimate foreplay in long-term relationships. But is "choreplay" the secret sauce—or just a well-marketed myth?

In this week's Love & Life Elevated podcast, we dive into the real research behind attraction and libido in long-term love. From the psychology of desire to the neurochemistry of lust, we unpack what keeps intimacy alive beyond the honeymoon phase.

You'll learn:

  • Why "doing more chores" doesn't always mean "getting more sex"

  • The deeper drivers of sexual connection (novelty, growth, space, and purpose)

  • What top experts like Esther Perel and Emily Nagoski want every couple to know

  • The real numbers on how often happily married couples have sex

This is about more than sex. It's about presence, evolution, and honoring what it means to love someone deeply—while still wanting them wildly.

Listen in. Share it with your partner. Let's elevate love—together.
