10 Ways To Ruin Your Marriage Right Before Bed

June 30, 2017/in In the Media

I contributed to the following article for the Huffington Post about ways to ruin your marriage right before bed:

“You tell your partner to sleep on the couch.

“Ever get angry at your partner and say to them, “I don’t want you to sleep in the bed tonight. You have to sleep on the couch”? Regardless of the argument, you want to be able to tell your partner (through words or actions) that you still love them despite your problems. This can be as simple as both going to bed in your shared bed or holding hands as you fall asleep. By taking ownership of the bed and kicking your partner out to the couch, you’re turning away and creating physical and emotional distance between both of you.” ― Danielle Kepler, a therapist in Chicago, Illinois”

For more on how to ruin your marriage before bedtime, read the entire article here.
