Scenes From a Marriage - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep. 54

Nov 23, 2022

When was the last time you watched a TV show or movie that was actually representative of real life? If you haven’t seen Scenes From A Marriage yet, we highly recommend that you set some time aside and check it out because it is one of those rare shows that shines a candid light on a typical marriage.

We binge-watched it this weekend and there were so many lessons that we took from it that we’re chatting about in this episode - and hopefully not giving too much away for those who haven’t seen it yet! We’re talking about sex, love, happiness, polarity, the perfect relationship, and even monogamy. There are so many things to reflect on and our hope is that if you do dive into Scenes From A Marriage it will lead to deeper conversations with your partner that will bring more intimacy and happiness to your own relationship.
