About this episode

What makes some couples thrive for decades while others fizzle out? Psychotherapist and bestselling author Amy Morin reveals the habits that erode relationships and the tools needed to build resilient joy in her latest book, 13 Things Mentally Strong Couples Don't Do. Drawing on research and years of counseling experience, Amy shares how small changes can transform even the most challenged partnerships.


Learn how to reconnect with your partner's best self - and your own. Discover why arranged marriages often get happier over time, while many romantic relationships decline. Healthy love takes work, but it's possible. If you've ever felt disconnected from the magic that first drew you together, this conversation is for you. Amy provides honest wisdom and gentle guidance for crafting enduringly satisfying long-term relationships.
