191 Understanding the Relationship Life Cycle, Pt. 2: The Maintenance Phase

In this current podcast series, I've been using the analogy that an intimate relationship is a lot like owning a car.

 

There are 3 major phases when owning a car. There's the purchase phase, the maintenance phase and the selling phase. If you want a good experience with a car, you need to know how to navigate each of those phases, right?

 

It's the same with a relationship. There's the "purchase phase" (meeting, dating and committing), there's the "maintenance phase" (keeping the relationship running smoothly) and there's the "ditching phase," (it's a lemon, it doesn't run anymore, time to take the bus.)

 

Every intimate relationship goes through these phases and it's important that we know how to navigate each of them—and that's what this 3-part podcast series is all about.

 

In this episode, the "maintenance phase" is explored. What type of routine "service" do you need to do on a relationship to make sure it doesn't break down and cost you a lot of money (divorce, break up)?

 

Don't miss this playful, insightful episode.
