Higher Love: the podcast with Reggie and Jodie Howard

Ep 49: Banter as...Foreplay??

Episode Summary

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ I’m rolling in HOT on this week’s episode 😂 Listen- (it's all Reggie's fault) 🤣 Because, most times, when we sit down to record an episode of Higher Love... My Enneagram 9 (my cool, calm, and collected self) is most present But this week.. Thanks to that earlier (rather heated) discussion - the one that was all his fault 😂 (my spicy, punchy, aggressive) 8 Wing was still leading the charge and she wasn’t ready to calm down any time soon 😤 Tbh, it led us quite nicely to this week’s actual podcast topic… Banter and the roll that banter plays in our relationship It’s interesting, because the ONE thing people comment on ALL the time, is our ability (and apparent commitment) to banter It took me some years to realize not all relationship engage in wordplay like we do and that some couples actually NEVER banter 🤨 Personally, he and I can’t even imagine what that would be like in relationship... I mean other than it’d be a LOT quieter, a LOT less chaotic and probably a LOT less chafing?? 😂 But, in all seriousness, what role does Banter actually play in our relationship? And why is it, that he and I continue to indulge in such witty repartee for 30+ years? ⚠️Warning ⚠️ - spoiler alert - the answer (at least in part) to this particular question, is right here in this week’s title 😉 Ep 49: Banter…as Foreplay??
