Married After Kids

Ep. 187: What Hundreds of Miserable Couples Have in Common


Listen Later

Feeling unseen, invalidated, or completely shut down in your marriage? You’re not alone—and there’s a way to feel connected again (and it’s simpler than you think).

Marriage isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning, growing, and showing up for each other, even when it’s hard. In this episode, I’m diving into the powerful reactions to one of my viral reels about feeling lonely, unvalued, and disconnected in marriage. Let’s explore what these struggles have in common and, most importantly, how to move forward.

Tune in to discover:

  • How societal themes around marriage shape our relationships and expectations
  • Why it’s okay to need more than your spouse to feel fully supported
  • How to take control of your happiness in marriage—without waiting on your partner to change
  • The key to building a stronger connection (and the do’s and don’ts of listening, validating, and understanding your partner’s perspective)
  • Why timing matters and how waiting for calm can transform tough conversations
  • The importance of developing the skills that will not only ease conflict but also make you feel better in your relationship
