141. The Quiet Things That Drift Couples Apart (And What Actually Brings Them Back)
Wed Feb 04 2026
If your marriage hasn’t fallen apart but feels a little quieter than it used to, this episode came from that place for me.
I realized recently that months had passed without a real moment together, not because we were upset or disconnected on purpose, but because kids, work, and exhaustion kept winning.
We weren’t fighting, we were just talking about schedules, collapsing into bed tired, and assuming closeness would magically come back later.
In this episode, I share what that slow drift has looked like in my own marriage and why noticing it without guilt can be the beginning of finding your way back to each other.
If this made you stop and think about your own relationship, I hope you’ll listen in and keep this conversation going with me as we learn how to protect connection in the middle of real life.
