I have found myself in times of feeling apathetic in my marriage. I mean after many years, we can move from being proactive to being downright lazy. After all, sustaining a healthy, connected marriage is hard work. But, without constant attention, the easier it is to fall into apathy. 

Apathy is damaging. Left unchecked it is usually the start of the total disintegration of the marriage. It’s relational cancer. 

Leo Buscaglia, also known as “Dr. Love,” was an American author, motivational speaker, and professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California. This is what he had to say about apathy: “I have a strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.” 

Apathy is indifference-an I don’t care attitude. And if we are indifferent in our marriage and don’t care anymore, what hope is there? None.

In this episode, I'll cover the warning signs of apathy and the ways to get back to connection.
