Phones have changed everything about how we connect.

In this conversation, I am joined by Alisa DiLorenzo — marriage coach, co-host of The One Extraordinary Marriage Show and author of The 6 Pillars of Intimacy — and we dive into how smartphones have become both a tool and a challenge in modern marriages. From subtle disconnection and misplaced attention to the small daily habits that create emotional distance, we unpack how phone usage affects intimacy, communication, and connection.

Tune in to hear us go over:

• How to recognize when phones are replacing connection with your partner
• The difference between using tech intentionally vs. habitually
• What to say (and not say) when your spouse is always on their phone
• Simple daily habits that restore presence, connection, and intimacy
• How to align your family’s phone use with your shared values

By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical ideas to reconnect — no app required.
