Angus wants more presents that is clear, but presence actually nurtures relationships more no matter what the love languages of the couple. We know when someone is really listening. We feel when someone is with us. We recognize when we are being listened to as a whole person not just for the content of what we are saying. We appreciate when the feeling behind what we are saying is understood too as well as the words. In relationship, we love for our essence to be seen along with our humanity. That is what nurtures intimacy — authentic, honest, open-hearted communication with two people being present. It is simple. We all know how to do it. It isn’t a skill to be learned. It is natural, but sometimes because of our conditioning, we need to be intentional about doing what we are designed to do — love.

Angus & Rohini Ross are “The Rewilders.” Listen to their podcast Rewilding Love. They believe too many good relationships fall apart because couples give up thinking their relationship problems can’t be solved. Many couples don’t know how to navigate low moods, conflict, and emotional reactivity. In this season of the Rewilding Love Podcast, Rohini and Angus help a couple on the brink of divorce due to conflict. Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them to reduce conflict and discord in their relationships by pointing them to their innate wisdom and wellbeing. They work with couples who are struggling and couples who would like to deepen the love and intimacy they already have. They co-facilitate private couples' intensives that rewild relationships back to their natural state of love.

Rohini is the author of the ebook Marriage, and they are co-founders of The 29-Day Rewilding Experience and The Rewilding Community.
