Jim Curtis is sharing how he and Jennifer Aniston navigate their relationship.
On Monday, Aug. 31, during Curtis’ appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, host Jamie Kern Lima asked about a specific prayer — “I’m sorry. I’m listening. Thank you. I love you” — and if he and Aniston use it themselves at home.
The hypnotherapist, who has been dating Aniston, 57, since last year, then revealed what they practice. “We do a lot of meditation, we do a lot of talk,” Curtis, 50, said. “We don’t use this particular prayer. We have. But it’s very easy.”

After Lima confirmed she and her husband used the prayer during “disagreements” or “arguments,” Curtis, who is promoting his new book, The Book of Possibility, explained how “different tools” are beneficial in different relationship stages.
“After 24 years, you’re like, I know you and I’m ready for you,” he said. “When you use this, it lowers defenses. Like, ‘Oh, I no longer have to be armored up for you because we’re on the same team and I love you,’ right?”
He added, “Jen and I have been together a year and a half, so this tool isn’t the first tool that we go to. … [We go to] meditation, acceptance, understanding. Those kinds of things. In the honeymoon phase, your tools don’t have to be like big sledgehammers.”
Elsewhere during the podcast, Curtis spoke about Aniston’s friend group, which he described as a “group of best friends that are like family,” adding that he felt “incredibly blessed to be part [of] and welcomed into that family.”
The couple was first photographed together during a yacht trip in Mallorca last summer, alongside Courteney Cox, Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka. As recently as Tuesday, Aug. 25, they were spotted leaving a dinner in Los Angeles with Cox, Bateman, Anka and Lisa Kudrow.
“It really speaks to her and them that everybody is so grounded, so kind. And it’s not just to me,” Curtis said. “There’s a reason why that whole group and community is so beloved.”

Overall, Curtis explained that things are “going really well” in his relationship with Aniston.
“My experience of her is so grounded and so open and caring and kind and loving,” he said. “I feel blessed to be in a relationship with someone that is so open-hearted and kind and loving.”
The couple made their first public appearance together in November at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event. That same month, Aniston called Curtis “quite extraordinary” in an interview with the publication. “Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does,” she said of his career, which “helps many, many people.”
“He’s very special, very normal and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to.”
