Whether your relationship status is single, taken or somewhere in between – you’re not alone when it comes to figuring out what you really want in a relationship.
That’s where Dr. Viviana Coles comes in.
Dr. Coles is offering an online masterclass on dating and relationships coming up.
She decided to offer the free service because couples often ask her about how to put the spark back into their relationships.
Dr. Coles explained, “It’s what I used to call an underlying current of sensuality.”
She says the couples that have the most spark, can tap into that current whenever they want.
“They keep that pillow talk outside of the bedroom, so that it doesn’t feel like it’s coming out of nowhere, so that initiation happens more freely,” Dr. Coles said.
Dr. Coles, herself, has been married for 17 years. She says people misstep when they only go for intimacy to initiate intercourse.
“If your partner feels like every single time, you kiss them you want more, and it’s not going to satisfying unless they go all the way, then guess what, they’re going to stop leaning into that kiss,” Dr. Coles said,
More of the “right” kind of pillow talk will help your relationship.
“Be goofy, be sexy, be silly, joke about it, play time, sexual time, it’s all part of being a fun adult couple,” Dr. Coles said.
Dr. Coles has dedicated her career to helping couples and individuals navigate emotional and physical intimacy challenges.
She was an Intimacy Expert on the hit TV show “Married at First Sight” for six seasons, and she is also the founder of the National Sex Therapy Institute, a certification program for mental health professionals, and the author of “The 4 Intimacy Styles: The Key to Lasting Physical Intimacy.”
The free online masterclass “Pillow Talk with Dr. Viviana” will happen on Monday, June 10 at 12:30 p.m.

Couples may start to bicker about seemingly trivial matters for various reasons, often stemming from underlying issues or differences in communication styles. Here are four common reasons:
- Stress and Fatigue: External stressors such as work pressure, financial worries, or personal challenges can lead to heightened emotions and irritability, causing couples to bicker about minor issues. When individuals are tired or overwhelmed, they may have less patience and tolerance for small annoyances, leading to arguments over seemingly insignificant matters.
- Unmet Expectations: Differences in expectations regarding household chores, financial management, or daily routines can lead to friction between partners. When one partner feels that their expectations are not being met, they may express frustration or annoyance, which can escalate into bickering. Open communication and compromise are essential for addressing and resolving these conflicts.
- Communication Breakdown: Poor communication or misunderstandings can often result in bickering over trivial matters. Couples may misinterpret each other’s intentions, tone of voice, or body language, leading to unnecessary arguments. Learning effective communication skills, such as active listening and expressing emotions calmly and respectfully, can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce bickering.
- Unresolved Resentments: Lingering resentments or unresolved conflicts from past disagreements can resurface during arguments about minor issues. These underlying tensions may cause couples to overreact to minor annoyances or trigger defensive responses, leading to bickering. Addressing underlying issues through honest and empathetic communication can help prevent recurring conflicts and strengthen the relationship.
By addressing these common reasons for bickering and fostering open communication, mutual respect, and empathy, couples can navigate disagreements more effectively and strengthen their relationship.
