Countless couples enter into marriage blissfully, fully respecting each other’s personalities and desires. However, before they know it, they’ve begun to engage in a pattern of communication that is negative and destructive and quickly can snowball out of control: nagging. Why do partners nag one another? According to Scott Wetzler, psychologist and vice chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, nagging occurs when one person feels that his or her needs are not being met.

But for couples who have been working to improve their marriage through counseling or therapy, determining if they are making genuine progress can be difficult. In a recent article, Susan Heitler, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author, helps couples figure out how to assess their marital progress. “Many folks in marriage therapy are uncertain what to use as a measuring stick,” …(See More)

Creating a loving marriage is hard, or so we are told. But Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, Ph.D.s and founders of the Hendricks Institute, an organization that teaches couples how to develop conscious loving unions, believe that is simply a myth. “Thinking love has to be hard is a paradigm, a collection of thoughts, feelings and intentions that produces a certain result,” wrote the Hendricks’ in a recent article. “It took us years of making love hard to figure out how to make it easy. With a little bit of mentoring, though, you can make rapid changes in circumstances that have …(See More)

By that I mean your sense of purpose and life goals as a couple; …(See More)

Every relationship will suffer inevitable moments of silence or deep freezes in communication. Although these experiences can be frustrating, they are usually quickly resolved and do not leave long-term scars on either partner.
