This week we turn to dating with a question from one of our readers: Dear Maxwells, I’m a woman in my mid-30s looking to find a partner. Do you recommend dating apps or even more specifically, matchmaking services to help me with this?

This week, we’re pulling from the field. As relationship coaches, this is a question that we get from nearly every one of our clients who we coach.

Chores. They’re one big, annoying area of life that can kill intimacy and connection in any relationship. Whether you’re cohabitating, shacking up or just sleeping over at someone’s place, how you delineate chores in the living space and other areas of your relationship will impact things in either a positive or negative way. Like taxes, the reality of chores is just something we all have to deal with, so we might as well get good at dealing with them — together.
