Relationship Lessons from Our First Year Dating I E13 Gaby Deimeke
Today’s episode is a little different than the usual interview style format.
Gaby Deimeke and I have officially been dating for one year, so I invited her on the show to have a discussion about the past year together.
We share insights including what we’ve learned about each other, what we plan to work on in year two, and break down what’s worked for us so far.
We are far from perfect but we are hoping that we might just say something that you can try out in your relationship.
