Manage episode 400723981 series 3467454
As couples therapists, we've seen it all, and we know that love doesn't come with a manual. But hey, where's the fun in that, right? So today, we're sharing some lighthearted (slightly questionable) marriage tips peppered with a healthy dose of humor and a dash of honesty. Plus, we're throwing in some insights from our own experiences as wives because, let's be real, sometimes life teaches you more about love than any textbook ever could.
Listen to learn about Andrea and Jessica's top tips:
- Stop attacking; stop defending.
- Go to bed angry, yep, we said it!
- Rewrite date night.
- Be ok with them NEVER liking to do the dishes.
- Acknowledge one another in passing.
- Give what you want.
- ASK for what you want; don't just assume.
- Increase non-sexual touching...like, a lot!
- Repair quickly.
- Try not to fall out of love at the same time.
Yes, we know the irony here. The two of us giving tips when we are entirely against dishing out tips! We promise you this is not one of those episodes. Marriage is hard! In fact, we even did a couple episodes on the topic:
June 14th, 2023: Redefining Happily Ever After
June 21st, 2023: 3 Universal Reasons Why Being Married is Hard!
