Tammy Nelson Shares 5 Marriage Tips to Strengthen Communication and Emotional Safety

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 10

Five common mistakes can erode marriages over time, Tammy Nelson said, highlighting lost curiosity, avoided hard talks, negative sex discussions, "maintenance mode" and unspoken affection.
Recent Family Process research underpins that advice, linking better communication and emotional safety to higher relationship satisfaction rather than chemistry or compatibility alone.
Nelson urged couples to stay curious as partners change, tackle avoided topics such as money or sex, and build intimacy by naming what is already working.
She also said long-term relationships need a balance between daily upkeep and shared novelty, with affection expressed openly instead of kept private.
The broader message: stronger marriages depend on ongoing attention, curiosity and a willingness to keep rediscovering each other.
