Time Alone: Why our relationships need it - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep 39

Nov 23, 2022

This episode is meant to inspire you.

We’re sharing our experience taking time alone together, getting away from the grind, and reconnecting with each other.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the nitty-gritty of every day life that we forget those things that made us fall in love with our partners to begin with. Making an intention to slow down and get to know each other again as human beings (and not necessarily in a sexual way!) can completely take your relationship to a different level.

We were reminded of these things on a recent trip away, and we wanted to remind you of them as well. So grab your favourite drink, get comfortable, listen in, and start making plans for how you can reconnect with your partner!
