We've all heard relationship advice, have seen relationship memes on social media and have heard 'tips' and 'dos and don'ts' when it comes to the romantic relationship: but what are these ideas and suggestions based on? Many of these suggestions imply that if just one person in the relationship would make changes, the relationship would improve.
Unfortunately, many such notions add to the confusion and misunderstanding already surrounding romantic relationships. Before you can restore or repair a romantic relationship you need to know what its function is, how it works and what it's supposed to do for you.
Relationship and couple counselor, Terri DiMatteo of Open Door Therapy in Westfield, New Jersey unpacks it all in an easy to understand and helpful way.
