Week One: Nothing Bad Happens On a Honeymoon

I Think I Love You

We didn't really land on the central thesis of how to stay in love until a couple of weeks in, but I was surprised, editing this months later, to hear us dig into our fears and hopes for marriage, and what we've learned so far, in a somewhat organic way. Nested within the saccharine giggle fest that is the rest of this first week's recording, that is.

• (5:31) The story of the first test of our marriage, aka the Peach Paint Incident
• (11:10) Caroline digs into her burning questions about honeymoon sex
• (19:10) I want to talk about the compounding value of time spent together (https://bit.ly/392lfIT), Caroline is having none of it
• (28:00) Will our wedding be the best day of our lives?
• (41:50) Are time and sexual attraction inversely correlated?
• (46:49) I mention Emily Nagoski on The Knowledge Project Podcast on trust in sexual relationships (https://bit.ly/33vNE96)

Thanks for listening. If any of this hits home for you or sparks a conversation between you and your partner, we'd love to hear from you. Find us on Instagram @caroclaireburke or @ri_soserious.
