<description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast with your host Stuart Fensterheim. This week Stuart is lightening things up with a podcast on how humor and positivity can create an attitude and purpose in your relationship that will transform your lives.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gratitude and appreciation are key ingredients in a loving relationship. Ways of showing love are showing appreciation, sharing your feelings, making your partner feel special and making them feel important. Small changes in behavior such as showing affection, a simple hug and kiss makes a huge difference. You can’t compel someone to do this; it has to come from the heart. We can ask for what we need and when our partner gives it to us, we need to recognize that as a huge step forward from what your relationship dynamic might have been in the past.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you’ll learn from today’s podcast:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ways to show gratitude to your partner  &lt;a class= "spp-timestamp"&gt;[7:09]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Courting behavior and what it does for you as a couple &lt;a class="spp-timestamp"&gt;[19:05]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Learning the love language in multi-media &lt;a class= "spp-timestamp"&gt;[20:10]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Sharing your passions and hobbies &lt;a class= "spp-timestamp"&gt;[24:30]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Humor and keeping life fun &lt;a class= "spp-timestamp"&gt;[30:55]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Couples Weekend: &lt;/strong&gt;The Two Days and 7 Conversations Weekend sponsors The Couples Experts Podcast.

Welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast with your host Stuart Fensterheim. This week Stuart is lightening things up with a podcast on how humor and positivity can create an attitude and purpose in your relationship that will transform your lives.

Gratitude and appreciation are key ingredients in a loving relationship. Ways of showing love are showing appreciation, sharing your feelings, making your partner feel special and making them feel important. Small changes in behavior such as showing affection, a simple hug and kiss makes a huge difference. You can’t compel someone to do this; it has to come from the heart. We can ask for what we need and when our partner gives it to us, we need to recognize that as a huge step forward from what your relationship dynamic might have been in the past.

  • Ways to show gratitude to your partner  [7:09]
  • Courting behavior and what it does for you as a couple [19:05]
  • Learning the love language in multi-media [20:10]
