Relationship Check-in Workshop: https://www.kelleymbode.com/relationship-check-In-masterclass   Foundations of Love Course: https://www.mattcama.com/foundations-of-love   I’m so excited to have my wonderful boyfriend on the podcast this week to indulge with me on all things relationships, love languages, being grateful, intimacy and lots more. Matt tells me about his recent trip to Australia to visit family, which sparks a discussion on what it really means if you’re the person who always feels the urge to help and save people, and how sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is letting them figure it out their dark paths on their own. We also have an open and touching talk on all the things we’ve been grateful for and loved in our relationship recently including our sex and intimacy levels, the fun things we have in store and super excited about for our future, LOTS of adorable kitten talk and give space for both our lowlights and highlights of the past month.    WHAT ELSE WE TALK ABOUT:   Practicing gratefulness and appreciation for one another and the love we have when someone practices our love language even without knowing it Lots of cats and kitten talk including predicting when our cat will give birth and how the entire experience is a great opportunity to sense what having children will be like How hypervigilance can stem from a lack of trust in a relationship or a result of childhood experiences What it means when we try to control each other and the story we tell ourselves that causes these outbursts How sometimes you have to sit in darker spots and be depressed in order to learn valuable lessons How scheduling intimacy and date nights remind us to prioritize our relationship and doesn’t always mean sex but sometimes just physical touch or spending intentional time together Debunking the myth that a relationship can’t be hot and spontaneous if intimacy and sex are scheduled  Connect with me:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelleymbode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelley.bode.90  Twitter: https://twitter.com/kelleybode
