From Brian:
5 ways couples drift apart without even realizing it.
1. More logistics than laughter.
2. Less touch, less play.
3.Talking but not really listening.
4. Avoiding hard conversations.
5. Living parallel lives under one roof.
Which one feels the most familiar in your marriage?
From Erica:
“I shouldn’t have to tell them what I need. They should just know…” This is one of the biggest traps couples fall into. It’s easy to believe that if your partner really knew you, they would just know what you need, but expecting them to read your mind only leads to frustration and disappointment. When needs aren’t spoken, they don’t just disappear. They sit under the surface, turning into resentment, and resentment will slowly erode your connection. Part of the problem is perspective. What feels obvious to you might not even cross your partner’s mind. That’s not a lack of love, it’s a lack of clarity. Healthy couples don’t leave their needs to chance. They talk about them openly. Not as demands, but as invitations to be understood. When you voice what you need, you give your partner the chance to actually show up for you. That’s how you build a relationship where both people feel seen, supported, and understood.
