Putting together any piece of furniture without the needed screws will lead to a poorly constructed piece of furniture that will fall apart more quickly than one that is well constructed. Listen in as K and I discuss on Bedtalks how two people c...

April 8, 2019August 18, 2019Elizabeth Overstreet

In this episode of Bedtalks, we focus on lust and love and how the two intermingle. Differentiating between lust and love is hard in the beginning. Desire can be intense at the onset of a relationship, often making it difficult to recognize true feelings versus infatuation or a physical desire for someone.
