Every marriage goes through seasons—some filled with laughter and connection, and others that feel dry, distant, or lonely. Maybe you've found yourself wondering, "What happened to us? Why can't we enjoy doing things together like we used to?" The feelings you once had faded, and no matter how hard you try, it feels like you're just going through the motions.

If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Dan and Danielle Macaulay, founders of MarriedUp.net and authors of The Triangle Effect, talk about what to do when love feels more like effort than emotion—and how inviting God into the center of your relationship can renew your faith, your hope, and your heart for each other.

If your marriage feels stuck, strained, or spiritually disconnected, this honest and encouraging conversation will remind you: your story isn't over, and God can still bring beauty out of what feels broken. But before we get started, I just wanted to warn you that we do talk about intimacy some in this episode so you may not want little ears around.
