How to Organize Your Home & Transform Your Relationship

De: Colette Roy

Narrado por: Colette Roy

Is clutter quietly destroying the connection in your relationship? You’re not alone. Couples argue about mess almost as much as they argue about money or sex. But those fights aren’t typically JUST about the piles in the garage or the shoes by the door—they’re about feeling ignored, overwhelmed, and unsupported.

In Clutter and Couples: How to Organize Your Home & Transform Your Relationship, professional organizer and relationship coach Colette Roy offers a deeply compassionate and practical roadmap to healing the emotional and physical mess that builds up in our homes—and between our hearts.

If you're feeling more like frustrated roommates than loving partners…

If you’re tired of cleaning up alone, nagging, feeling unheard, or even talking about splitting up because of “stuff”…

This book was written for you.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Navigate arguments about clutter without blame, guilt, or shutdowns
• Understand your partner’s “Clutter Threshold” (and your own)
• Create shared goals for your home—even if you have very different styles
• Organize spaces as a team and without power struggles
• Rekindle connection and intimacy by co-creating a sanctuary together

Featuring real stories, reflection prompts, life-changing communication tools, and humor-infused guidance, Clutter and Couples helps you turn the stress of “stuff” into opportunities for reconnection.

This is not just a book about getting organized. It’s about getting aligned—emotionally, practically, and relationally.

Don’t let clutter become the third wheel in your relationship. You deserve a home—and a partnership—that feels safe, spacious, and supportive.

Who knew decluttering could be so spicy?

I loved this book. I've had clutter of different kinds throughout my past, and this felt like an interesting read, especially since I'm always promoting the notion that "if it's good for couples, it must be good enough for throuples too!" ;-) I was pleasantly surprised to find that the greatest value in these pages wasn't in the mundane cleaning of our collective rooms, but in the communication advice ABOUT the clutter. Clutter might just as well be a metaphor for "that thing you and your partner(s) see differently so it nags at you just a little more every day"... Gotta find ways to talk about them without saying things we wish we hadn't, right? Meanwhile, the author is just having fun with this whole thing, and yeah... adding a little sexy spice where appropriate.

Struggling with your stuff?

Ever feel like you are drowning under the weight of the things around you but not sure how to start digging yourself out?
Who hasn’t?
Clutter and Couples author Colette Roy uses her depth of organizational knowledge, compassion and humor to make organizing your home an accessible goal.
I love that each chapter asks me thought provoking questions, and gives me bite sized projects to begin tackling my mess.
My greatest takeaway? Be more compassionate to yourself when it comes to organizing, the only person judging you is you, so stop already
