Couples therapist, Mac Stanley Cazeau, is here to help you think differently about relationships, communication, and intimacy. He breaks down the difference between relationships and partnerships, the do’s and don’ts of intimacy, and how to make real, long-lasting progress in your partnership. Plus, Mac shares how to boost intimacy with “chore play”.

That’s right, we said chore play! Think of it as a form of foreplay, something we all need every now and then...

In all seriousness, no relationship goes without conflict or challenge, so it’s important that we stay committed to working through them together. Whether you’re in a serious partnership or not, this episode will help you navigate the ups and downs of communication, intimacy, and conflict with your special someone.
