Why Their Phone Gets More Attention Than You (and How to Change That)

Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Are you beginning to feel like your partner’s phone is becoming the third wheel in your relationship? Are you tired of being "phubbed"—that unsettling mix of phone and snubbed? You’re not alone. In this Language of Love Bite, we explore how to reclaim connection in your relationship without starting World War III.

In this episode, I delve into the science of disconnection, revealing how our phones trigger dopamine responses similar to addictive substances. But this isn’t just about the tech—it’s about finding solutions that strengthen intimacy and foster connection.

Discover small but powerful ways to unplug, reconnect, and bring joy back to your shared moments. Plus, I share some proven practical tips and daily rituals that foster intimacy.

Here’s what I cover:

• Understanding the neurological impact of constant screen use.
• How to identify tech’s impact on your relationship, from decreased eye contact to “parallel play.”
• Simple, actionable strategies to combat tech addiction
