419. Why Marriage Feels Hard (and Why That’s Not a Bad Thing).

Do you ever feel like your marriage has slowly become… surface level? Like you’re doing life together— managing the house, the kids, the responsibilities— …but you’re not really connecting the way you used to? Or maybe you feel the tension… the conflict… the distance… but you don’t have the energy (or desire) to slow down and work through it. If that’s you, you’re not alone.
