If You Feel Disconnected… This Might Be Why

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, we talk about a principle that can completely transform your relationship: leaving and cleaving.Most people think it just means moving out of your parents’ house, but it goes much deeper than that. You can leave physically and still be emotionally, mentally, or even habitually tied to your past.And that might be the very thing blocking intimacy, connection, and growth in your relationship.In this conversation, we break down:Why leaving is more than just physical distanceHow outside relationships (family, habits, routines) can affect your marriageThe importance of prioritizing your spouse above everything elseWhat “cleaving” actually looks like in real lifeHow to rebuild a connection, even if you don’t feel it right nowWhy bonding and intentional time together are essentialWhether you’re newly married, engaged, or years into your relationship… It’s not too late to reset.💡 Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t finding something new…It’s finally letting go of what’s holding you back.💬 Ask yourself: Is there anything I haven’t fully left?❤️ And as always… keep your hearts committed.Welcome to Committed Hearts, a weekly podcast for engaged and married couples who want to build a strong, lasting, and God-centered relationship without pressure, perfection, or churchy overload.Hosted by The Porters pastors, marriage counselors, and partners for more than 25 years, each episode blends real-life stories, faith-shaped wisdom, and practical tools couples can apply right away.You’ll hear honest conversations about communication, connection, conflict, intimacy, and spiritual growth delivered with grace, humor, and zero judgment.Whether you're newly engaged or decades into marriage, Committed Hearts will encourage you, challenge you, and help you grow together emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.Because great marriages aren’t found, they’re intentionally built, one committed heart at a time.Hosted on Ausha.
