The Conversations Every Couple Needs Before Marriage (From a Therapist)
Love doesn’t fail marriages. Unspoken expectations do. So, before you walk down that aisle, there are a handful of conversations almost no one has and they’re the ones that actually shape your day-to-day life together. I’m Kelly, an EMDR therapist, and today I’ll walk you through every one.
Before you say, “I do,” there are a handful of conversations most couples never have and they’re the ones that actually shape married life. In this episode, EMDR therapist Kelly O’Horo walks through what every couple needs to get clear on before the wedding: how you each handle conflict and repair, money and invisible labor, gender-role and family expectations, intimacy, and emotional safety. Grounded in Gottman’s research, this is the premarital conversation guide nobody hands you. Whether you’re engaged, thinking about it, or years in — this one’s for you.
