Growth Marriage

Are You Stuck in Roommate Syndrome


Listen Later

I have a confession to make…

My marriage has slipped into Roommate Syndrome.

I could blame it on a lot of things:

My wife surprised me with an announcement last year that she was pregnant… which was AWESOME!

But it also meant that the next few months were full of nausea, exhaustion, and weird food aversions, which made date night hard.

Then COVID hit.

My wife is an ICU nurse, so she's been on the front lines, dealing with this pandemic mess.

It's been very stressful.

And to keep everyone safe, we have been VERY quarantined for the last 8 months.

We rarely go out to eat.

We haven't been on vacations.

And then baby Aurora arrived.

Along with all the cuteness came diaper changes, puke, late nights, and feedings every 2.5 hours.

And of course, intercourse was off the table.

So… We mostly just sit around and watch Netflix in our sweats.

*shudder*

It was a few weeks ago when I realized it.

It was embarrassing to admit.

We had let our marriage drift into Roommate Syndrome.

We were in a serious slump.

And I help people create epic marriages for a living!!!

I knew I had to do something.

I didn't care how many forces were working against us, we were not going to get stuck in this black hole of passionless mediocrity.

So, I did the only thing I could think of.

I reached out to 30 of my favorite marriage experts.

I said, "I can't be the only one dealing with this right now… and I want to DO something about it!"

They were on board!

So I interviewed them all separately and asked them one important question:

"If you had to get your marriage out of Roommate Syndrome in 30 days, what would you do to get that spark back and make sure you never ended up in Roommate Syndrome again?!"

The answers I got were incredible.

They changed my life.

(I'm not wearing sweats anymore, and last week, my wife and I went on a proper date – at home, mind you, but still a date!)

And they will change your life too.

You can get those interviews for free here, but only for a limited time starting on December 8th.

Don't miss out!
