We talk about why the first step in couples work ...

Many couples quietly worry when sexual intimacy fades. They wonder if something is broken—or if they’ve missed their chance to reconnect.

In this #SoRelatable conversation, Susan Regan and Fabienne Annick explore a gentler truth: intimacy doesn’t disappear—it changes. And often, what’s missing isn’t desire, but presence.

For many parents, the end of a romantic relationship is just the beginning of a much longer—and often more complex—journey: co-parenting. While the early days after separation tend to be filled with high-stakes emotions and logistical upheaval, the truth is that co-parenting doesn’t begin and end with young children or a standard custody schedule. It evolves. And for it to evolve well, so must we.

At its best, co-parenting is a long-term relationship rooted in adaptability,...
