#143: The Truth About Romantic Relationships with Genesis Games (Relationship Series)
“I wish that couples understood the importance of appreciation and gratitude.” -Genesis Games
Romantic relationships have been romanticized for so long, but they aren’t a walk in the park. I’ve been married for almost 20 years and I feel like there has been just as much challenge as bliss. But what surprised me is that when we hit those challenges I realized that nobody talks about the challenges that couples face. Romantic relationships are an important part of the connection pillar and they encompass a big part of our lives, so this was definitely a topic I wanted to include in this month’s relationship series.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I interview Genesis Games, a psychotherapist in Florida who is passionate about relationships. We talk about the challenges couples face and she points us to some great skills that we can use to support the health of our relationships.
We discuss:
The current state of romantic relationships in the United States
Generational differences in long-term relationships
The top 3 reasons couples seek therapy
Common myths and sustained beliefs about romantic relationships
Why we struggle with discussing the reality of relationships
Three skills that she encourages couples to use
What makes relationships salvageable and what are indicators that it may not be repairable
What people can do BEFORE entering a marriage or long-term relationship to improve the quality of their relationships
What she wishes more couples knew
Her favorite resources for couples
The personal habit she is most proud of
