Have you ever felt like you and your spouse are more like roommates? Maybe five years ago, before this job, or before having kids, your relationship felt strong and emotionally connected. But now, things feel flat, distant, and maybe even a bit hopeless. If that sounds familiar, we have great news—this episode is for you! And more importantly, you're not alone. Even marriage experts Greg and Erin Smalley have been where you are! In Jim’s conversation with the Smalleys, you’ll find plenty of encouragement and practical tips to help you reconnect with your spouse. The best part? It’s not about adding more to your already full schedule. Greg and Erin point out simple actions you’re likely already doing that can create small moments of connection, leading to the deeper relationship you’re longing for.
