Summary

“Marriage is complicated.” “Once you’re married, sex goes out the window.” “It’s all downhill after the honeymoon phase.” Have you heard people say this to you? Have you actually uttered these words yourself? Vienna Pharaon and I sat down and talked about the stories we tell ourselves around getting married and how we can make the shift and define marriage in whatever way we want. Vienna is a licensed marriage and family therapist based in New York City, where she runs her own practice. She is currently the number 1 Google search result when looking for couples counseling in NYC and she and I co-created a Relationships 101 workshop. Grab your pen and paper -- this episode is dynamite! In this episode, you’ll learn: How honoring your vows are important, but honoring promises can help too (8:44) How to hold an “Annual General Meeting” with your spouse or partner (13:00) How to lower your negativity threshold (17:25)  And so much more!    Where can you find more of Vienna Pharaon? @MindfulMFT on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter NewYorkCouplesCounseling.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
