In episode #71, Mel and Trish discuss the various emotions associated with Valentine's Day and the importance of showing love and appreciation for those we care about. The hosts talk about the challenges of keeping love alive, especially in midlife, where seemingly stable relationships can suddenly blow up. They interview Dr. George Blair West, a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry, and a subspecialist in trauma and relationship and sex therapy. Dr. West shares his wisdom and experience on how to build a happy marriage and avoid divorce, drawing on his own 33-year marriage to psychologist Penny. They explore the peak in divorce around seven years into a marriage and another one around 14 years, which is particularly interesting since marriages become what we got married for around the 14-year mark. The hosts and Dr. West discuss various factors contributing to the success or failure of relationships and offer advice to listeners on how to bring out the best in themselves and their partners.
