Ty Mansfield. I'm Tammy Hill, a licensed marriage and family therapist, sex therapist, professor at Brigham Young University, and most importantly, a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am also an optimist. I strive to live my life on purpose with purpose. I am here to inspire people to do the things that inspire them so that together, each of us can change our world for the better.
Join me for Live Your Why Podcast. Together, we can live a life full of passion and purpose. This is a catch-all phrase for times when marriage feels really hard. Relationships are hard. They're also one of the two things we take with us when we leave this life. We take with us relationships and wisdom or knowledge. So, I think they're worth the risk. I often tell my students and clients that love is not complicated.
It just is. The complicated part is finding two souls who are feeling it at the same time in their lives and feeling it for each other. That can be really complicated.
But when that feeling is so deep in your heart, so clear in your mind, and so felt in your gut. You become willing to fight every second of the day to keep it alive. You choose intentionally to put the relationship to the forefront. What's best for the marriage always requires sacrifice from both the husband and wife. In therapy with a couple, I always let them know who my client really is.
I tell the husband; you are not my client. I tell the wife; you are not my client. My client is your marriage. And this is the complicated part. Coming to fully realize that love isn't always easy. Sometimes it's pretty sticky. And it's the mix of these emotions that makes it feel complicated.
