It’s easy to slip into “role-play” mode in marriage—doing what is expected, showing up in assigned roles—only to forget that this is just one half of authentic connection.
In this episode, I explore how role-playing, when left unchecked, can slowly replace genuine intimacy between spouses. We talk about balance—because structure matters, but so does emotional presence—and how losing that balance affects how we truly connect.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feeling distant, this conversation is for you.
Do take a listen, and as always, listen with an open heart.
