She discusses how to move through these fears and get to a place of comfort in commitment and love. The fears we have that keep us away from love  and commitment are more or less the same ones. Fears of boredom, entrapment, fear of the loss of freedom, fear of losing oneself, fear of losing our sexual connection with one person over time. This episode all about these fears and what we can do to move past not only the fear, but take action to show ourselves that boredom doesn’t have to be our fate, that we are always free, that losing ourselves is a choice we make, and finally that sexual connection is something we can continually evolve even with the same partner.  Episode Resources: More on ASH FOX  Ash Fox is a marriage proposal advisor, consultant, planner and photographer who has helped over 2000 couples from all over the world with their engagements.  ASH FOX PROPOSALS,  AFP is Ash Fox’s marriage proposal business.  http://ashfoxproposals.com Follow Ash Fox on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashfoxproposals/
