In social gatherings, it's common to see couples criticizing each other in front of friends and family.

However, according to Seville-based psychologist Javier García Ruiz, relationships should be a space of protection and care, not public exposure or criticism.

García Ruiz recalls a phrase from a couples therapy manual that stuck with him: "Correct in private.

Praise in public".

This idea is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and avoiding emotional harm.
