Renowned Marriage Counselor Hands over the Secret Keys to a Happy Marriage

(October 09, 2012)

Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) October 09, 2012

Lots of couples seem to get it right, like theyve got some kind of instruction manualbut whats their secret? South Carolina marriage counselor Dr. Tina Lepage says that through years of practicing therapy, shes uncovered ten simpleand humoroussecrets to having a happy and lasting marriage.

Lepage discussed her findings during an exclusive interview with Charlotte divorce lawyer Lee Rosen in a StayHappilyMarried.com podcast, which included learning the art of thinking before speaking and taking time-outs to regain perspective during arguments.

Couples should avoid using the bathroom in front of one another and stop treating each other like same-sex friends to improve their overall happiness, according to Lepage, because these are some of the most common complaints marriage therapists have to help couples work through. Additionally, having low expectations can make for an extremely happy marriage and keep people out of divorce court.

The point is, if you have high expectations then all that can happen is your spouse can either meet the expectations or fail. And thats really a bummer because it feels good to both parties when somebody else exceeds expectations, says Lepage.

The birth of children also often correlates with dips in marital happiness, according to Lepage, who says marriages without children tend to be happier.

People will report that the least happy time in their marriage was after the birth of their first child; then things get a little better they dont really recover back to what they would consider being truly happy until their children move out of the house, says Lepage.
