Bad Advice People Give about Marriage - Part 1

Published: Oct. 12, 2017, 2:57 p.m.

There is a never-ending supply of advice for married couples \u2013 some of it is very bad.

Here are a few examples:

\u201cIf your relationship is in trouble, have a baby. It always makes everyone cheer up and be happy.\u201d

Uhhhh no. A pregnant woman with morning sickness followed by a crying newborn baby with colic does not make either father or mother cheer up and be happy.

This piece of genius advice no doubt came from a man. He said, \u201cSex should always, 100% of the time, be mind-blowing and transcendent. If it\u2019s not \u2013 even once \u2013 immediately get a divorce.\u201d

Three responses to that advice: it\u2019s not only physically impossible to achieve, it is offensive and down-right stupid.

For the next few weeks, Dr. Ross deals with commonly given bad marriage advice. You\u2019re not going to want to miss any of them.

Perhaps the most frequently given bad advice is NEVER GO TO BED ANGRY. There are three problems with that advice \u2013 that\u2019s the subject of this week\u2019s Podcast!
