Sure, you’ve done the hard work—therapy, repair, tough conversations. But now what? In this feel-good episode of Relationship Dish, Pam and Iona dive into something couples often forget to prioritize: fun. From day trips to date nights, puzzles to pub nights, they explore how joy acts as a deposit in your relationship bank account—and why it’s crucial for long-term connection.

Pam shares honestly about the lack of joy in her past relationship and what lights her up now, while Iona talks about prioritizing fun with her husband after their daughter left home.
