From Relationship Coach Monica Tanner...
You’ve followed the rules, repeated the advice, and maybe even blamed yourself when it didn’t work.
It’s not you.
It’s the myths.
We won’t spam you. Pinky promise.
In this refreshingly honest and deeply hopeful book, relationship coach and podcast host Monica dismantles the most common myths keeping couples stuck, resentful, and disconnected—and replaces them with practical, real-life tools for building lasting intimacy, emotional safety, and actual fun in your marriage.
Whether you’re newlywed, ten years in, or somewhere between roommates and "what are we even doing," this book will give you the insight, encouragement, and skills to turn things around.
From “never go to bed angry” to “happy wife, happy life,” couples are bombarded with clichés that sound wise but often leave them feeling disconnected, resentful, or questioning whether lasting love is even possible.
In Bad Marriage Advice, relationship and intimacy coach Monica Tanner debunks the myths that hold couples back and replaces them with clear, compassionate strategies for real communication, lasting connection, and renewed intimacy. Drawing on over two decades of lived experience, a thriving coaching practice, and a faith-centered perspective, Tanner offers a refreshingly honest roadmap to creating the kind of marriage that feels safe, passionate, and built to last.
Whether days or decades into your relationship, you’ll learn how to:
• Communicate without mind-reading or walking on eggshells
• Rekindle emotional and physical intimacy
• Navigate conflict with confidence and compassion
• Grow together instead of growing apart
Based on the fifteen most common pieces of advice couples are given, this book offers practical alternatives that work in the real world, not just in theory.
This is more than advice -- it’s a lifeline. With warmth, clarity, and a coach’s insight, Monica Tanner helps couples move from frustration and survival to connection, joy, and a deeply fulfilling marriage.
