Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Why the End of the Honeymoon Phase Should Excite You


Listen Later

What happens when the honeymoon phase ends? That early period in a relationship, full of excitement, ease, and constant attraction, doesn’t last forever.  Most people assume that this means the excitement is over and they are stuck with a lackluster intimate life. But the end of the honeymoon phase can mark the start of the real love story.


In this Language of Love Bite, I explain why  the end of the honeymoon phase is actually one of the best things that can happen in your relationship. Did you know that couples who are keeping their sexual connection alive for 20 or 30 years aren’t just relying on heat alone? They’re learning to cultivate it intentionally and with ongoing practice.


I also guide you through a powerful, heart-opening practice called the Desire Memory Ritual. It’s perfect for long-term couples who want to reconnect with their erotic roots, reignite attraction, and let those feelings flow through them once again.


Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why the honeymoon phase ends and what it does
  • What your brain is doing during and after that phase
  • How couples stay connected over the long term
  • Why being present matters more than trying harder
  • How attraction changes over time
  • How to do the Desire Memory Ritual

  • If you want help with intimacy and sexual connection, check out my free Quantum Sex course on my website, as well as Sex Magic. And always remember: true connection begins when we stop performing and start seeing each other, soul to soul.
