| | Couples’ therapists share a lot of advice. Like a lot a lot. After all, it’s their job to listen and observe and offer expertise to help their clients address issues and move towards a better path. While all couples are different, there’s a great deal of marriage advice the therapists dole out again and again. Nuggets of wisdom about conflict, care, and validation. About defensiveness and listening and remembering what lies at the root of all marital arguments.
To offer a glimpse at their greatest hits so to speak, we asked a variety of therapists for the advice they share the most with their clients. Some of it may seem obvious but is smart to remember; some a bit more nuanced but incredibly helpful. All of it was shared to remind couples of important truths: that patience, good communication, and a desire to learn about themselves and their partner more are crucial components of lasting, loving relationships. Also: this stuff is hard so striving to be a little bit better is all that matters. |
