The most romantic things in a long term relationship are often not the ones that make it to a reel.

They tend to be smaller. Quieter. Easier to miss in the middle of a Tuesday.

The car someone washed without being asked. The hey text in the middle of an ordinary day. The kiss in the kitchen that stops instead of passing by. The coffee you drink together for no reason at all. The remembering to ask how that meeting went. The “go ahead, I’ve got this.”

None of it is grand. All of it could be love.

Save this for the next time you find yourself wondering if you are still being chosen. The answer is often hiding in the small things you have stopped counting.

What is one unromantic thing your partner does that you have stopped noticing? Tell me below. I want to read them.

8 questions for the person you have been with for years. The conversations couples almost never have. I am Melissa Divaris Thompson, a licensed therapist specializing in couples and relationships. The clinical concept is sustained curiosity, the practice of being a student of your partner long after you think you have learned them. Ask one. Not all eight. In a calm moment, not a hot one. Notice what they say. Notice what they almost say. Which question feels hardest to ask? Comment DECODE and I will send the Conflict Decoder.

Couples therapy and the myth of communication. I am Melissa Thompson, a licensed therapist. Communication is usually not the real problem in your relationship. The real problem is often what you do not yet feel safe enough to say. After 15 years of this work the more accurate version is that emotional safety unlocks communication, not the other way around. The clinical concept is felt safety, the body's read of whether the room is okay to speak in. What is one sentence you have been waiting to feel safe enough to say? Follow for more of what no one else is saying out loud. This content is relationship education and is not to be misconstrued as psychotherapy.

Most people think couples therapy is only for partners on the edge of breaking up… but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

✨ Therapy is about:
• Building deeper intimacy
• Breaking unhelpful cycles
• Learning how to repair faster

The strongest couples are the ones who choose to grow together. ❤️

👉 Save this post to remind yourself.
👉 Tag your partner if you’d try therapy together.

In 15 years of sitting with couples, I have learned the second a fight is about to start, and most of the time it has nothing to do with what gets said next. Fights do not start with words. They start with a face. A breath. The way one of you sets down a coffee mug. By the time words show up, you are already two minutes into a fight your nervous systems already started. The doorway out is not stopping the words. It is naming the smaller moment. Free Conflict Decoder in my bio. This content is relationship education and is not to be misconstrued as psychotherapy.

We were sold the idea that love is something that happens to you once and then just stays. But the couples who go the distance know the quieter truth, that love is less a feeling you fall into and more a thing you keep picking on the days it would be easier not to. It lives in the small stuff. The warm hello after a hard day. The reaching for each other when the spark is quiet and the laundry is piled high. None of it looks romantic in the moment, but all of it is what actually holds two people together over the long haul. Which small, unremarkable way do you choose your person? Tell me below. This is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy. If you are struggling, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. 💓

I love them, but I miss us. If you have ever thought that, you’re not the only one. There is a phase in marriage almost nobody warns you about. Two people who still love each other slowly forgetting how to reach. Text neither of you sent. A question that almost came out. A moment you noticed and did not name. The hardest thing to degree in a long relationship is not what was lost is the question you decided not to ask one more time. Send this to the person that you have been missing and know that they may be missing you also. This content is relationship education and is not to be misconstrued as psychotherapy. .
