How couples become roommates without even realizing it | E229

Have you ever wondered when your marriage started to feel more like a partnership in logistics than a relationship? You may still love each other. You may not even be fighting that much. But somewhere between work, parenting, responsibilities, television, and scrolling on your phones, you stopped truly reaching for one another. In this episode, we’re looking beneath “roommate behavior” to explore why connection can begin to feel emotionally risky. Especially, when previous attempts to talk have ended in defensiveness, disappointment, or another argument. You’ll learn why another list of conversation starters may not solve the real problem, how couples sometimes create peace by avoiding vulnerability, and why not every moment of connection needs to carry the weight of repairing your marriage. You’ll also discover a gentler way to begin rebuilding companionship without making yourself responsible for manufacturing connection for two people. Wait!!! Before you go!
