There might be one “D” word scarier than Divorce: Dating. Luckily, we have an expert in the house to take that fear away. Laurie Berzack, Owner of Carolinas Matchmaker, joins us in the Legal Lounge to go over the ins and outs of modern dating, how to approach finding a match, and the tried-and-true ways to keep the spark alive and foster healthy communication in a relationship. Whether you are ready to get back out there after your divorce, or looking for ways to improve your marriage instead of separating, this episode is for you!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Dating apps create an atmosphere where we focus too much on looks and physical attributes instead of the shared goals and interests that make for a strong relationship. A matchmaker can help remove those blockers and help you find great potential matches based on what truly matters to you.
Learn how the person you are dating likes to communicate, and share your communication preferences up front as well. The earlier you can establish strong communication - even if you are not exclusive yet - the more effectively you will handle conflict down the road.
When things progress to the next stage, division of labor in a relationship becomes an important piece of the “relationship” puzzle. When you are not distributing household responsibilities fairly, it can create a lot of tension and division. And if there’s a chore you both hate? Maybe it is time to consider outsourcing the chore and to work the expense into the budget!
