How Living in Phoenix Impacts Your Relationship (And What Couples Can Do About It)

Relationships are tough and often times, our environments play a big role in those challenges. In my clinical practice, I have noticed that in Phoenix, couples are facing specific challenges unique to the big city desert. Heat, rising costs, and a sprawling city are just some of the things that can make staying close to the person you love more of a challenge. These things aren’t your fault, but how you show up in your relationship is your responsibility and there are things you can do to improve how you do that through the stressors. This blog will explore a few small shifts you can make to help your relationship feel more connected and attuned, specifically while living in Phoenix.
