Can a Messy Home Ruin Your Relationship? Couples Therapist Shivani Misri Sadhoo Shares Insights with India Today

 In a recent India Today feature, India’s leading couples therapist Shivani Misri Sadhoo shares expert insights on how a messy or cluttered home can quietly affect emotional well-being and even contribute to relationship stress and conflicts. According to relationship expert Shivani Misri Sadhoo, physical clutter often mirrors mental clutter — leading to irritability, communication breakdown, and emotional distance between partners. She explains that an unorganized living space can trigger tension, lower intimacy, and create feelings of overwhelm that spill into the relationship dynamic.

Highlighting the strong connection between mental health and relationship harmony, Shivani Misri Sadhoo advises couples to maintain a balanced and organized environment to promote peace and mutual understanding. A cleaner, calmer home, she notes, fosters emotional clarity, trust, and stability, helping partners strengthen their bond and reduce everyday stress.
