It’s been a season of loss, healing, tough truths, and rekindling the magic. As the season wraps, we’re reflecting on the powerful words that guided our couples through heartbreak, healing, and rediscovering their spark.

Here are some of our favourite quotes from our expert, Dr Mthembu about love, sex and relationships:

“Relationships shouldn’t be boring and have intimacy only in the bedroom.”

“When you begin to repair the relationship, that is when growth takes place, but it starts by being able to express your needs.”

“When you begin to repair the relationship, that is when growth takes place, but it starts by being able to express your needs.”

“When you confide in your partner, there’s a sense of peace because you’ve shared your worries. You also teach them something about you in the process.”

“Sex starts in the mind, and everything going on in your life and relationship will affect how you see yourself and how you show up in the bedroom.”

More relationship advice here:

 

“Your partner has no idea how you’re feeling, but it’s up to you to teach them.”

“When you give your positivity and enjoyment, your partner starts absorbing that and they give it back to you. That is the circle of love, relationships and sex.”

“Some issues affect the bond between couples if they stay hidden and you don’t discuss them and this will only lead to more disconnect.”

If you constantly remind your partner they’re not good enough, they won’t be able to perform at their best.”

“It’s very important that you check in with yourself and have good relationship with yourself.”
