Sarah and Tracy interview popular British therapist Andrew G. Marshall on his views about whether a marriage can recover after infidelity. Is "affair proofing" actually a thing? We find some common ground -- and some very diverging opinions -- on what's possible when you're dealing with a deceptive partner.

If you ever feel like you've fallen out of love with your partner, you're not alone. Many relationships grow stale. But what if you could take your relationship from mediocre to amazing? An incredible relationship has the power to change your life and help you become the strongest and best version of yourself. Andrew G. Marshall is a couples counselor and the author of the international bestselling book, I Love You But I'm Not in Love With You. Some of the things he discusses are how to confront problems, the exact things you can do to reignite a spark, and the steps you can take to feel passionately in love again.

Andrew G. Marshall is a well known marital therapist and I sat down with him to discuss the grief he felt following his father's death. His understandings are rooted in his decades as a therapist and have a particular clarity I think many of you will find helpful. In this episode, we discuss: How the death of a parent in old age is still a big psychological event and brings up many related losses which are often unrecognised.  The power of the unconscious, how we can limit who we are and how we are in the world when we only focus on our conscious lives.  For those with parents who are still alive, this episode is a timely reminder to have those important conversations before they die - don't pretend they are immortal.  Be patient with friends and family - allow time, space, commit, endure and try again if they are resistant.  The power that rituals hold and how they can help us to move through the pain. Finally how, despite our fear, when we walk towards our pain that is when we can heal. It takes courage, but fear is exhausting and pervasive and this is a route to releasing yourself from it.  I won't spoil the drama in this episode but suffice to say there are some big surprises - to do with wolves, rituals and tattoos…!  Support links: Grief Works app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/grief-works-self-care-love/id1558867513 Grief Works book: https://juliasamuel.co.uk/books/grief-works Feel The Fear and Do it Anyway book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feel-Fear-Anyway-Indecision-Confidence/dp/0091907071 Find Andrew G.

At the beginning of each year we typically make resolutions about our weight, our fitness and our professional lives, but do ever take time to reflect on our core personal relationships and attempt to improve these. I asked Andrew to take on this huge topic and he provided five practical hacks to improve your relationships, as well as putting me on the spot with some big questions!  Enjoy the show!

En sus más de 30 años como consejero matrimonial el Dr Andrew G Marshall encontró que cosas hacen que una persona se más propensa a ser infiel. Eso lo llevó a la Fórmula P+PC+T= I ¿Que hacer para evitar el riesgo de ser infiel? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bajaledos/support

Amongst supposedly monogamous couples, 23% of men and 19% of women have cheated on their current partner, and while studies have long found that men are more likely to cheat than women, that gap has significantly narrowed over time; in fact, married women between the ages of 18 and 29 cheat at a slightly higher rate than men do.Behind cold bits of data like this are the many real stories of infidelity and the heartache and destruction they create. If you're not yet part of the cohort who's experienced the fallout of cheating firsthand, you probably want to avoid joining its ranks. Well, my guest has a formula that explains what three factors add up to infidelity, and once you know it, you can reverse engineer things to prevent those factors from showing up in your relationship.His name is Andrew G. Marshall and he's a marriage therapist with over 30 years of counseling experience. Today on the show, Andrew first shares the breakdown in age and gender amongst the clients who come to see him in his practice and the two stages of life where he's found infidelity to be the most common. Andrew shares his formula for what leads to infidelity, and as we unpack its elements, we discuss how quiet desperation is a major driver of cheating, why men who don't have good male friends are more likely to have an affair, how to know if you're forming an inappropriate friendship that could lead to infidelity, Andrew's seven deadly sins of bad communication, and more. We also talk about the practices that healthy couples use to ward off infidelity, and the best question to ask yourself to start improving your relationship today.Resources Related to the EpisodeAoM Article: The 10 Commandments of Clean CommunicationAoM Article: How to Communicate Your Needs in a RelationshipAoM Article:Can Men and Women Just Be Friends?AoM Podcast #179: The Science of Cheating — How to Prevent and Deal With InfidelityAoM Podcast #550: How to Strengthen Your Marriage Against DivorceSunday Firesides: Dependence to IndependenceSunday Firesides: Give Them the CreamConnect With Andrew G.

No-one would deny sex is important to a meaningful life, but what that looks like changes as we age. In this first episode of the new self-help podcast The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall, international sex therapist and Daily Mail columnist Tracey Cox discusses her new book Great Sex Starts at 50: How to Age-Proof Your Libido. While wild, lustful sex can certainly be a unique and special life experience, the sex that brings us meaning is different. It's the sex that lasts past the orgasm, to include that afterglow as you lie together or even just make each other a post-coital cup of tea. It's about building a sexual relationship that is not solely focused on orgasm. Meaningful sex is also sex that the two of you work on - after twenty years you probably won't want to rip each other's clothes off, but you CAN plan time to devote to each other, to try new things and create desire. Trying new things is something the majority of couples never do - but it's a simple recipe for exciting, meaningful sex, and Tracey and Andrew have plenty of tips on where to start.

Have you ever felt so defeated and frustrated that you want to just throw in the towel and run away? Author Kay Hutchison did exactly that, fleeing her annual holiday to the Cote d'Azur, moving out of her home, and leaving behind her marriage and a well-established career.  In seeking to understand what forced this huge rupture in a previously smooth existence, Kay tried a range of mainstream and alternative therapies. In the end, she took part in 37 different forms of therapy to explore her particular midlife crisis and experience of the menopause. From colonic irrigation through to Shamanic therapy, Kay found solace and insight that she was able to share in her powerful book, My Life in 37 Therapies.  In this second episode of The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall, Kay and Andrew explore the many different ways in which therapy can help us cope with midlife and its tendency to throw at us so many of the unresolved issues of early life.  Follow Up Join our Supporters Club to access exclusive behind-the-scenes content, fan requests and the chance to ask Andrew your own questions.

So what is the meaningful life? Why do we so easily lose our way and get lost in depression, anxiety, doubt, addictions and obsessions: the swamplands of the soul? One thing I know for sure is that there is not one answer. Each of us has to find out for ourselves what makes our life meaningful. But we can learn from each other, share our experiences of how to navigate the journey, how to endure and learn from the swamp, and finally how to find solid ground.

Valeria interviews Andrew G. Marshall a marital therapist and author who offers straightforward advice for creating successful and fulfilling relationships. Getting the most out of love needs skills and the good news is that these skills can be taught. If there is a critical voice in your head which not only runs you down but makes it hard to accept praise from work colleagues, friends, or family, Andrew's work will help you make peace with yourself and the world around you. Unlike many programs for boosting self-esteem, Andrew not just treat the symptoms but go to the root causes of your negative messages and show how to make peace with the past. In this way, you will not only learn how to challenge that little voice in your head but replace it with something kinder, more understanding, and loving. Most importantly, by improving your relationship with yourself, you will improve all your relationships. So that if you're looking for love, you will start attracting people who'll treat you better (rather than play games) and if you're in a loving relationship, it will become more equal and balanced. It is a common piece of advice - you've heard it a million times on T.V. talk shows and from friends and family: ‘You've got to love yourself before you can love anybody else.' There are also variations on this theme like ‘If you don't hold yourself in high regard nobody else will' and ‘Loving yourself is the greatest love of all.' In fact, we've heard this basic idea packaged in so many ways, so many times that we tend to switch off and carry on as normal. But what would our lives be like if we did at least like ourselves? Wouldn't everything be easier and certainly more enjoyable, if we weren't so self-critical? We'd start standing up for ourselves, stop friends or work colleagues taking advantage. When looking for love, we'd make better choices or when we'd found a partner not let him or her walk all over us. Unlike a lot of other obvious truths, there is real nugget of wisdom in the idea of loving ourselves. So why haven't we taken the advice on board? From time to time, Andrew does meet people who seem to have a very high opinion of themselves. “I'm only been attracted to really handsome men,” said Charlotte, forty-two when she arrived in Andrew's counseling office, ‘unfortunately they've all known just how gorgeous they were.' As he took down her relationship history, Charlotte peppered her conversations with examples of just how much she loved herself - ‘I'm used to a lot of attention' - or had been loved: ‘He absolutely adored me and would have done anything for me.' Twenty-five years of counseling has taught me that how something appears on the surface and the reality underneath are often very different. At first sight, Charlotte did seem confident and up-front. However, she felt a little brittle as if the slightest setback or anything beyond 100 percent approval, and she would start to crumble. She had come into counseling because despite being able to attract plenty of men, she could not keep any that she truly wanted (and did not seem to want the ones that wanted her). The more Andrew got to know Charlotte, the more he realized that she was swinging from high to low self-esteem - with nothing much in the middle. Andrew G Marshall is a marital therapist and author of twenty self-help books on relationships. His most famous book are 'I love you but I'm not in love with you', 'How can I ever trust you again' and 'Learn to love yourself enough'.

You hear the message over and over in pop culture: love overcomes everything. But when Don José sings “The Flower Song” in Bizet's Carmen, you're reminded that love has a dark side, too. In the Season 1 finale, host Rhiannon Giddens welcomes tenor Roberto Alagna, critic Anne Midgette and psychologist Andrew G. Marshall to consider the crazy, possessive side of love and the importance of experiencing art that doesn’t have a fairy-tale ending. Then, you’ll hear Alagna sing the role of the passionate and violent Don José onstage at the Metropolitan Opera. The Guests Tenor Roberto Alagna first performed as Don José when he was 35. Twenty years and many performances later, he thinks he “judged” José a little too harshly in the past and now feels more empathy for the character's misguided and obsessive love. As a teenager, Washington Post critic Anne Midgette dreamed of living in Europe with a boyfriend who sang opera. When she moved there after college and dated a tenor who sang “The Flower Song” on a train platform, she thought, “Oh my god, my dream came true.” When writer and marital therapist Andrew G Marshall took his parents to see Carmen, they expected to hear some familiar tunes and a sweet love story. Instead, they got “horror and bloodshed.” Pro tip: always read the program notes.
