Short excerpt from a Vanessa Marin YouTube video ("Just Blame Us") offering relationship communication advice: she suggests framing feedback as non-personal by having a third-party or 'objective' source give the critique so the partner is less likely to become defensive and more likely to accept it.

So much of our business is based on this idea of, like, just blame us. Just blame us for it. It's one thing for you to go to your partner and say, I want you to do this, or you're not doing this, or I want you to be better at it. It's a totally different thing to hear two strangers saying objective relationship advice, like, it's just not personal coming from us. And so your partner is not likely to get defensive or annoyed or ignore it. Like, they're going to be more likely to take it in.
