<\/p>\nThis week we\u2019re back with another Ask Dr. Joy episode and today all of your questions are about the unspoken gaps in how many of us were raised to think about love.\u00a0 Dr. Joy discusses getting back into dating after years away, feeling a quiet disconnect with your spouse, and finally naming why relationships often feel so hard to navigate. These are the kinds of realizations that can sit with you for years before you find the words and today\u2019s conversation is about giving yourself the grace to learn what you didn\u2019t know you were missing.<\/p>\n
