A television producer called me today to seek my expertise in affairs. Helping couples through their pain, overwhelm and betrayal.
There are may questions we have and these need to be addressed. I have a little video on Youtube
Love to hear what your ideas are. Perhaps you have been through the trenches with your spouse and come out the other side. You can be a beacon of hope. Please feel free to add your thoughts below in the comment box. Thanks Philipa
Hello there lovely readers of Marriage Works.
Chris and I went to the news agents on Saturday as he wanted to buy a magazine for the soccer World cup. While in there he handed me the latest Mindfood magazine pointing out a psychology article “After the Affair – is it possible to restore trust.” I said oh good and opened it to page 50 in Health:Relationships.
Imagine my surprise when I read “Philipa Thornton’s strategies for making it work after an affair”! I had totally forgotten journalist Emily Joyce’s interview back in April.
I was pretty chuffed and had a good chuckle. It is a great article ( even if I do say so!) on affair recovery which is totally possible, I encourage you to check it out. Plus you get to see the gorgeous Rachel Weisz’s beautiful image and hear her story of a new chapter. See her interview with Graham Norton here on being married to Daniel Craig
The story is called Circle of Trust and is out now.
I recently was called by the lovely Elizabeth Tilley of the Courier Mail a division of News. com.au . Where I was the featured relationship expert in her great article:
Looking for a flatmate or a soulmate? You might just find both in one of these suburbs.
Relationship psychologist Philipa Thornton said a romance born from a flatmate friendship could lead to a successful life partnership.
“It is a fabulous basis because domestically you’re going to have an idea of what they are like pretty quickly,” she said.
“Proximity makes the heart grow fonder and that can be a really lovely foundation for a relationship to form from a friendship base.”

Ms Thornton said with a more traditional dating relationship someone’s true colours could remain hidden for quite some time, but a flatmate romance fast-tracked what was normally a slower process.
“The honeymoon phase could be over quicker when you’re living with someone 24/7,” she said.
It can be a great foundation for lasting love.
