Reigniting the Spark

  1. Reigniting the Spark Dr. Bruce Chalmer 30:09

For the video of this episode, go to https://youtu.be/iUELr23ilxY.

Long-time listeners of our podcast, or those of you who follow my (Bruce’s) work, might recognize that title, “Reigniting the Spark,” as the title of my first book on Relationships.

Now I’ve created a self-paced video course based on a lot of the same ideas. In this episode, Judy and I talk about why couples might lose the spark, and how it’s possible to get it back. I talk about some of my favorite ideas: stability, Intimacy, and the passion paradox; the need to tolerate Anxiety without dissolving into panic; the role of faith as the antidote to panic; and more.
