Feeling disconnected from your spouse? If your marriage feels more like roommates in the thick of parenting tweens and teens, this episode will help you understand why that happens and how to reconnect with your spouse in the season of busy family life. Many couples experience a shift in their relationship as kids get older.

But rebuilding your marriage doesn’t always require a weekly date night, a weekend getaway, or hours of extra time. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why couples start feeling like roommates during the tween and teen years How parenting older kids can impact marriage and emotional connection Why intentional time matters more than finding more time Simple ways to reconnect with your spouse through small moments of 20 minutes or less A stronger marriage isn’t built by finding more time together. It’s built by becoming intentional with the time you already have. Next Steps: If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to support you.
