Date night is cheaper than a divorce | Amanda Lambros | TEDxPerth

When it comes to relationships, few of us know what we're doing. We make it up as we go along. Relationship expert Amanda Lambros tells us that we underestimate the cost of a break-up and we can't assume that intimacy and connection happen spontaneously. Amanda Lambros loves to share her passion for all things relationships. She seeks to understand why relationships work and how to positively build and improve them. By teaching effective communication skills, she helps couples improve their emotional connection and strengthen their relationship foundations.
Amanda is Vice-President of the Marriage and Relationship Educators of Australia and has 15 years experience as relationship counsellor and clinical supervisor. She has an education background in Health Sciences and Ethics and Masters Degrees in Counselling and Forensic Sexology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Brilliant and almost embarrassingly simple. Continue to nurture the relationship and connect with your partner. Yet too many people don’t think it’s as important as doing yardwork or house projects.

Get a PRENUPTIAL....IT demonstrates good STEWARDSHIP. Won't have to pay that $150,000.

Red Edwards it didn’t do anything for me. Still spent a ridiculous amount of money to get out of a miserable marriage he didn’t want to be in either :(

@@dvs8866 . Don't know all the facts but Prenups are very straightforward if written properly. Good luck to you.
