Welcome to Couple Ideas
We hope this will be the start of a good conversation about what makes couples happy
So, how do we even start?
We’re not talking about writing our first substack. We’re talking about relationships. Maybe you’re one of *those* couples - just got back from an amazing vacation, always put together, looking good, looking … happy. Or maybe you’re like the rest of us. Just a couple, trying to be a little happier.
We want to understand why so many couples need a little boost.
We haven’t spoken to a single person who says “You know what, I’m killing the game when it comes to being a husband/wife.” Not one. Turns out, this couples thing can be challenging. Not necessarily existential. But it’s hard. It’s OK to admit that.
We want to help couples be happier.
We are going to explore all the “expert advice” that’s out there. We want to hear from couples on things they’ve tried that have worked, and things that haven’t. We want to hear where couples commonly run into issues, and how we can learn to solve (or avoid) those. Most of all, we want to help couples figure out how to be happier.
Subject to change…
People change. Relationships evolve. So do substacks. Let’s all be flexible and adaptable as we talk through how to make this work. If there’s something you’d like us to focus on, please reach out.
