Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend Jim Curtis has given a rare insight into the couple's yearlong relationship, revealing how they manage to resolve difficult conflicts.
Curtis, 50, gushed over his 57-year-old superstar squeeze while appearing on The Jamie Kern Lima Show on Monday, just two days before the pair will make their first public appearance together at a book event in New York.
During the appearance, Lima asked the hypnotherapist if he and Aniston use a prayer he had previously shared, 'I’m sorry. I’m listening. Thank you. I love you,' which she found to be helpful with her husband.
'We do a lot of meditation, we do a lot of talk,' Curtis said, before clarifying, 'We don’t use this particular prayer. We have. But it’s very easy.'
He went on to explain that his relationship with Aniston required a different approach because it's still so new for the two of them, whereas he thought the prayer that Lima cited is best for lowering the defenses of couples who have been together for years or decades.
'Jen and I have been together a year and a half, so this tool isn’t the first tool that we go to…' he clarified, adding that they instead focus on 'meditation, acceptance, understanding.'

The interview was released before the two will make their first public appearance together at a book event in New York City on Wednesday, when Aniston will interview Curtis, a hypnotherapist, about his new tome The Book of Possibility on stage at the 92nd Street Y
'Those kinds of things. In the honeymoon phase, your tools don’t have to be like big sledgehammers,' Curtis added.
Elsewhere in the interview, he raved that things are going 'really well' with Aniston.
'My experience of her is so grounded and so open and caring and kind and loving,' Curtis said of the Morning Show star. 'I feel blessed to be in a relationship with someone that is so open-hearted and kind and loving.'
Aniston has a loyal group of friends that includes Friends costar Courteney Cox, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Kimmel and Jason Bateman, and Curtis says he's now a part of the fold.
Describing the close-knit crew as 'such a beautiful community and group of people,' the hypnotherapist said he feels 'blessed to be part [of] and welcomed into that family.'
