Monthly Honeymoons: How Taking Breaks Keeps Passion Alive-Sunscreen Love Audiobook

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!

Passion fades. Every couple knows it's true. That electric feeling you experienced when you first met your spouse gradually dimmed as years passed, replaced by comfort and routine. But what if rekindling that spark were possible through surprisingly simple techniques backed by both modern science and ancient wisdom?

The "seven-year itch" isn't inevitable. When couples find their excitement waning, many make the devastating mistake of seeking new relationships rather than revitalizing their current one. The truth? That same passionate connection you once shared still exists—it just needs intentional rekindling.

This episode explores two powerful pathways to renewed passion. First, we dive into how regular strenuous exercise naturally boosts serotonin levels, creating what I call "free drugs" that transform your emotional state and energy levels. You'll learn why even small beginnings matter, like my own journey from barely running one block to completing multiple miles. Just as a NASA rocket's tiny course correction can prevent missing a destination by millions of miles, small consistent efforts in your relationship create profound change over time.

Then we explore a fascinating approach from Jewish tradition that creates "monthly honeymoons" through intentional periods of physical separation. This practice addresses the relationship-killing problem of "sexual ambiguity" by creating clear periods of anticipation followed by passionate reunion. The result? A marriage that maintains both the "fire" of excitement and the "water" of stability—elements that naturally conflict yet are both essential for lasting love.
