A brief YouTube short by coach Betsy Guerra describing a coaching interaction with a client named David. Guerra advises asking before speaking or acting in a marriage: “Did this come from a place of love?” If not, pause and consider what love would do; if yes, proceed. The clip models a simple reflective practice for healthier spousal interactions.

Asking this question will save your marriage. The other day, my client, David, called me, and he was telling me about something he did or told his wife that, if you ask me, sounded a little passive aggressive. But that's not my job as a coach to judge. So instead, I asked him, david, did that come from a place of love? Crickets. David had his answer. Next time you want to know if what you're about to tell or do to your spouse is the right thing for you, ask yourself, is this coming from a place of love? If the answer is no, be still and ask love what love would do in your shoes. If the answer is yes, carry on, my friend. Love never fails.
