There are a lot of really great and entertaining podcasts that focus on the sexual aspects of our relationships, such as Tristan Taormino’s Sex Out Loud, Emily Morse’s Sex With Emily, Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus’ Sex Talk with Clint & the Doc, Dr. Wednesday Martin and and Whitney Miller’s True Sex & Wild Love, and Dan Savage’s The Savage Lovecast.

But when it comes to love, intimacy, and relationships, communication, or even the spiritual aspects of love, the selection of good podcasts is few and far between.

There are a lot of podcasts where people talk about their own dating life, tell raunchy stories of their relationship disasters, or give advice that might apply to relationships. But where is one to go to solve the problems in their relationship or learn what the science and research has to say about intimacy and connection?

For that, I give you the Top 5 Love and Relationship Podcasts:

Ok I admit it, I have a crush on Esther Perel. I recommend her books, try to get pictures of us when our paths cross, and of course, listen to her podcast, Where Should We Begin? 

Billing itself as “A Podcast for anyone who has ever loved,” Where Should We Begin? podcast is like being a fly on the wall in Esther Perel’s office, where you get to listen to real couples anonymously bare the raw, intimate, and profound details of their relationship. Click here to listen.

5. The Learn to Love Podcast

Yes, I am recommending my own podcast, Learn to Love.  That is because I specifically created it to be your go-to resource for better love and more intimate relationships.

Every week I interview new experts on love, including couples’ therapists, relationship coaches, sex educators, and best-selling authors. After writing The Seven Lessons of Love, I thought I knew a lot about relationships. Yet in every episode I learn something new, something I cannot wait to apply to my own relationships.
