Welcome to Relationship Zen

We’re relationship nerds, like you

Our names are David and Lindsey and we’re relationship nerds just like you.

We can’t wait to learn more about you and your interest in happy, thriving, conscious relationships (stress-free!).

David is a passionate leadership educator, a committed martial artist, and in the process of discovering Relationship Zen. He is secretly weird in a hilarious way.

Lindsey is a boss lady, loves to be creative in everything she does, and secretly loves singing Mariah Carey songs way too loudly.

Together, we’re a dynamic partnership with one BIG relationship goal: to consciously co-create an enlightened and elevated relationship… And we’re taking you along for the journey.

This is the conversation that got us to start writing:
D: “Who came up with this idea anyways?”
L: “You?”
D: “Oh yeah, it was after I attended TEDxRyersonU.”
L: “Oh yeah. You should just start the blog with this convo.”
D : “Really?”
Pause
D: *starts typing*

“The day the relationship you have with yourself is great — when you Love yourself unconditionally, when you respect yourself 100 percent, when you honour yourself, and you never do anything against yourself — when finally you are that way, then you will attract the right  [person].” – Don Miguel Ruiz (Author of the Mastery of Love)

We’re co-creating a strong relationship and sharing the lessons with you

Relationship Zen is about finding happiness in the daily chaos of intimate relationships. It’s about clearing away the miscommunication, emotional baggage, and negativity to create a new kind of partnership with our significant other, one built on the principles such as: presence, purpose, simplicity, unconditional love, and self-fulfillment.

We noticed that our approach to relationships is a little… different.

We’re not saying that our dynamic is perfect by any means… and you will see. However, we do believe that we are consciously choosing a “higher” way of living, both as individuals and as a unit.

“Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful.”  – John Maeda

Why a blog and not a journal?

Because we have journals. Also, because we’re new to blogs (can you tell!?) and as part of our own relationship’s learning contract, we need to learn new things – even if that means failing the first few times (you can help us be the judge of that).

We will post once a month on our experiences with maximizing our relationship and elevating our lives.

Although we’re not saying you should do things our way, our stories and lessons may give you the boost you need.

Keep in touch with relationship nerds and healthy relationships vibes

You can expect our posts to be corny, serious, potentially outrageous, and a little bit bold.

To stay up to date and to get the exclusive stuff that we don’t post on social media and the blog, sign up for our newsletter via the button on our homepage so we can keep in touch and so we can send you our free list of things relationship nerds, like us, need to believe to maximize our relationships.

If we do our part, we (the authors) will be happier. If you do your part, you (the reader) will be happier. If we each do our part, the whole world will be happier. This is the ripple effect that we anticipate.

You know, like the wave at a baseball game?

Inspiring one strong relationship at a time,
