Happiness in Progress

#225 Becoming a Mentally Strong Couple feat. Amy Morin


Listen Later

"If you try to become just the same blob of people, it doesn't work. If you're trying to control the other person and you think they're trying to control you it really doesn't change people's behavior. Instead it makes people push those behaviors under ground, they become secretive, they get better at pretending like something isn't a problem. It really leads to a lot of dysfunction." - Amy Morin

Amy Morin is a psychotherapist and a bestselling author. She has released several books. Today we're talking about the latest book, 13 Things Mentally Strong Couples Don't Do

This is such a great book that offers practical advice for issues you might be coming up against in your relationship.

In this conversation we talked about:

  • Not using your emotions as a weapon.
  • Setting emotional rules. Is it okay to slam the door? Is it okay to throw stuff when we fight?
  • What to do instead of trying to fix your partner.
  • How to go back to how you fell in love in the first place.

This is by far a favorite episode of mine. Let me know what you think by visiting me on Instagram or Facebook.
