The relationship of your dreams… is it possible? Can you consciously create it? And most importantly of all, can it last over the long term?

To help answer these questions, I’m joined today by our most frequently requested podcast guest. Without fail, every episode he appears on rapidly gets added to our ‘most downloaded ever’ list and generates a flurry of feedback and rave reviews. Yep, I’m talking about the one and only Nick Broadhurst — musician, recording artist, father, and my beautiful husband.

Today we’re pulling back the curtains on what we’ve learned from our seven years of marriage, to give you the tools and strategies that will help you create the deeply passionate and divinely connected partnership of your dreams. Whether you’re already in a long term committed relationship, are just starting one, or are in the process of calling in your soul mate, the insights and techniques we share in this very special episode can change the relationship game for you (and your partner) forever.

So if you want to discover the surprisingly simple habits that lead to extraordinary relationships, the genius tricks that will help you permanently end the cycle of frustration and fighting, and our epic secrets for making the honeymoon phase last forever, then pop in those earbuds… this one’s for you.
