Many couples work hard on their relationship—communication, parenting, routines, intimacy. But when conflict hits, things still fall apart. Why? Because what’s underneath the relationship matters just as much as what’s visible. In this episode, Brett introduces a powerful metaphor: the house (your relationship), the foundation (emotional safety), and the footings (your deep-rooted beliefs). He shares how fragile foundations and missing footings cause small issues to spiral—and what you can do to build something that actually lasts. You’ll learn: Why reassurance and conviction matter more than behavior fixes How conflict reveals what you believe about yourself and your partner Four questions to assess the strength of your foundation 🎧 Plus, a childhood story about building a fort—and what it taught Brett about emotional structure in marriage.
