archive pages

I designed my site in a magazine layout. https://www.thesinglegirlsguidetomen.com/
for the Category pages I used a query post and made individual category pages. the issue is I want to make my archive page to look like the rest of the site.

Unfortunately I can only figure out how to make a category page that list the stories instead of list them with the image. to look like this.

What code do I need to use to call the thumbnail and the loop that calls the archive posts. and how do I control how many posts show?
