I recently listened to a female therapist in a podcast saying “Marriage makes your lover a relative.” I completely disagree. In this episode, I discuss the complexities of marriage, emphasizing the importance of maintaining attraction, prioritizing relationships, and navigating the challenges of parenthood. I argue against the notion that marriage diminishes romantic connection, advocating for continuous effort and individuality within the partnership. I share personal insights from my 20 years of marriage, highlighting the need for couples to prioritize their relationship and maintain a loving environment for their children.
