Episode 402: The Secret To Finding A Compatible Partner

The way that many of us are approaching romantic relationships is all wrong. We’re not prioritizing the things that really matter when selecting our partners. In today’s show, we’re going to talk about the conversations you need to be having with a potential partner in order to develop deeper connections and establish long-term compatibility. My guest is Lindsay Jill Roth, an award-winning television and live-events producer who has created and developed a wide variety of programming globally. She is also author of the new book Romances & Practicalities, which is based on a set of 250 research-backed questions designed to help you initiate tricky conversations and find lasting love. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What are we doing wrong when it comes to selecting relationship partners? How can being more pragmatic in your approach to relationships help to build a stronger foundation for love? Why is money management a vital issue to discuss with a potential partner? Beyond finances, what are some other key topics we should be discussing? How do you initiate conversations about topics that many people are uncomfortable discussing?
