Join Yashodhara Lal, author and couple therapist, in conversation with Aruna Gopakumar, Founder of The School of You, for an online interactive session on her latest book, What They Don’t Tell You About Marriage.
Marriage is often spoken about in idealised ways. But what about the realities that emerge after the honeymoon phase? What happens when misunderstandings, conflict, unmet expectations, and differences begin to shape everyday life together
In this session, Yashodhara Lal will speak about the ideas in her book and explore what long-term relationships actually ask of us. Drawing from her clinical experience and her own long marriage, she looks at the work of staying together with greater honesty, clarity, and understanding.
The conversation will touch on themes from the book, including conflict, unconscious games between couples, appreciation, apology, and navigating difficult areas such as money, sex, in-laws, parenting, and betrayal.
Whether you are about to commit to a relationship, already married, or looking for ways to reconnect with your partner, this session may offer a more grounded and realistic lens on marriage.
