(Archive) 94. Encore Episode: Marriage 101 with Dr. Sonya Rhodes

This episode is a special encore, while we are spending a little more time with our partners than we usually would, we thought you might appreciate some perspective! Dr. Sonya Rhodes is a psychotherapist, relationship therapist, and the author of four books, including “Cold Feet” and “The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match.” (Ahem... attention Santa!) She spills the beans on what makes a marriage work or not, gets honest about the struggles in her own marriage (her husband originally thought she would be putting his clothes away and arranging the flowers), and shares what kind of marital problems couples are bringing to her couch. We love her for getting super candid and vulnerable and helping us to better navigate what relationship wellness means today.

Dr. Sonya Rhodes talks about...

• Slow love and pre-marriage
• 
  
• Who’s getting divorced--spoiler alert: it’s not the young-uns
• 
  
• Resentment in a relationship--spoiler alert: it’s actually a GOOD thing--do we have your attention yet??
• 
  
• Couples who haven’t had sex in years--heads up: the prognosis is not good
• 
  
• How many positive to negative interactions there should be in a marriage--yep, there’s an actual number
