Relationships are all about you choosing someone and them choosing you especially when you are not in their presence. The way the world is promoting life as a series of options that you don't have to actually choose one is killing people connecting people.
Trust is built once you choose the person to build it with.

Welcome back everyone to another episode of The Couple School Podcast.
This week we have a guy that is usually the one with the higher sex drive from his previous relationships who is struggling to keep up with his new partner in his present relationship. He is finding himself exhausted and finding excuses not to sleep with her.
Sexual compatibility is a tiered subject in relationships and often confused with emotional connectivity as the symptoms when they show up can be similar. When people are craving a deeper or more frequent emotional connection sex can sometimes be the trigger that they lean on which if read wrong can lead one or both to believe that this is just not meant to be.

Welcome back couple schoolers!!
This week we had a write in from a lady who has been single for a while and so used toys to claim sexual satisfaction but is now in a relationship and is struggling to let go of the Rabbit in favour of her new guy. Whilst the new guy is awesome in every way she is finding it difficult to let go of her vibrating routine and s concerned that this is going to have negative impacts on her relationship.
Have a listen to Andrew and Charmaine's take on things, do you agree??
We have said it before single you cannot be in place when "you" becomes a "two" and with that understanding a lot of routines need to be left behind especially ones that were put in place to replace the fact that you didn't have a significant other to full fill certain responsibilities.

Welcome back couple schoolers, this week we have a write in from a new Mum who is struggling to adjust to the demands of family life and being a parent.
Pregnancy and childbirth are much discussed events but the loneliness that can be experienced particularly during your child's early years isn't really discussed enough. The transition can be a difficult one for either or both parents as you adjust from a life of your interests and care being the primary focus to one where very often the demands realised can push you to the very back of the queue.
During this episode Charmaine and Andrew get into the challenges new parents can face and offer some real gems of advice to help.

When things happen in a relationship we don't always have the answers or know how to handle it and so having a fresh perspective or just someone to pull you back in check before you begin World War III can be handy.
However
Theres a fine line between airing your laundry and asking for help/advice and you have to be very selective on who you ask that advice and make sure they understand the role you have asked them to fulfil.
This week we discuss a couple who are facing a challenge in the sense that she talks to her brother about matters of her relationship that bother her but her other half can't stand it and believes that what happens behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors.
The person who she has confided in has also seen it their place to address what she has told them with her partner directly which has not gone down well.
Do you think it's ok to ask for external perspective on matters within your relationship?
Do you think that if you tell someone something irrespective of how close they are to you that they then have the right to confront/discuss the subject with the other person involved directly?
Should everyone just keep themselves to themselves and not share anything at all?

Welcome back for another episode of The Couple School Podcast, this week we are looking into couple that have a perceived mismatch in appeal and digging into the reasons for that perception and the implications of it on the relationship and the individuals within it.
Charmaine and Andrew share their honest experiences and advice for people involved in a similar situation or have come out of one.
Do you think that someone can be out of another persons league based on how they look? Is it possible for someone that may be considered visually challenging to the masses to break social barriers and date above their social pay grade?
Will it last if she's a 10 and he's a 5 or will insecurities cause a rumble in jungle? Would the outcome be the same if it was the other way round?

This one was a tricky one for your coaches as we deal with the stereotypes people face when they have made decisions in their past that people tend to judge you for in your present. Honesty in a relationship is key but how much should you share especially when you feel that your current partner may decide that its too much for them to deal with.

You asked, we answered....... I'm sure this one is going to provoke opinions, questions and possible outrage lol Its all fun and games in the world of pushing boundaries and perspectives.
This one was sent to us both individually and so it would be rude not to answer the request. On a level this one is a passionate one and one that most probably fits the cap of each to their own but we would love to hear your take on it.
Can men and women be friends??

Welcome back to our podcast, we can't believe this is week 10!!
Today we are looking at the subject of appreciation and gratitude, how important is it to show either and is one more important than the other. Also discussed we touch on the frequency of sex and the importance to understand your partners sexual love language and some advice from Charmaine for all of our female listeners.
Don't forget we are live on Instagram on Tuesday at 20:30 for Couple School After School, come listen, debate, disagree or join in the fun just follow @thecoupleschool for further updates.
Here's a question that we both get asked numerous times exactly how trusting do you need to be in order to have a successful relationship?
The answer to that really is completely and transparently, the main reason we get into relationships is to have that space and person that we know has our back and that we can be vulnerable with and so in order to have that you have to not only trust the person you are with won't do something detrimental to your union but you also have to trust them enough to tell that the stuff you hide from others.
We hope you enjoy todays post, its a rare occasion where Andrew admits defeat in a debate and Charmaine wins..........
As usual you can catch us on Couple School After school on Tuesday at 20:30 on Instagram live, come and share your experiences, views, opinions or disagreements with us.

We had to do it and here it is, the big one.

Have a listen to the episode and don't forget to join us for Couple School where we unpack al and open the floor for you to have your say.
Hey guys we are back with a new topic
Communicating that you are not happy about the smallest of thins can be a difficult thing to do when you are in a relationship. Even the smallest of things can trigger insecurities within either party and cause anxiety.
Will they listen? Will they take it in the wrong way and leave?
When you say nothing in a relationship you are really saying its OK for this behaviour to continue, when you say nothing you are saying that you are OK with whatever it is that they have done and whether that be intensional or not it still sends a message to that effect. In this week cast we are getting into it all and hopefully giving some insight on not just how to handle it but a better understanding of how to communicate effectively and so avoid unhealthy confrontation.
Have a listen and let us know what you think and don't forget to join us LIVE on Couple School, After School on Instagram where you can really have your say.
The dreaded subject and a rising reason for mistrust in relationships and ultimately break ups.
Should your partner have access to your social media profiles and if they do should they take a peek whenever they feel to? How do you feel about posting your partner on your social media? should you ultimate public space be restricted to your partner?
We are getting into it all today!!
Got an opinion or story to tell on the above then why not have your say on Couple School After School on Instagram LIVE on Tuesday at 20:30 just follow @thecoupleschool in Insta and join in the conversation.
