Meet Alysha Jeney, a 30-year-old married relationship counselor based in Denver, Colorado. Yep, you read that right — she’s a counselor, a millennial herself, she’s in a successful long-term relationship. Jeney, who is also the founder of the subscription-based Modern Love Box for couples, has been with her partner for about a decade, and has been in private practice for three years. Sometimes yes, it’s the biological clock, and yes, just feeling lonely. But another part of it can also be that they just feel that they have to [find someone]; they feel like they’re at this age where everybody else is doing it, everybody else is married, and everybody else has children, so there’s just a lot of pressure. I would definitely suggest having some phone conversations prior [to the first date] — not texting, not emails, genuine phone conversations. I think that would help in establishing that initial spark; you can know right off the bat pretty easily if this person is connecting with you, or is present, or is engaging. I am a Colorado native, even though I hate the snow.... ) and my husband is from the mid west, but Colorado "native-ish." Together, we hope to inspire you and your partnership with our new company!
