The Evolved Marriage Podcast

The More You Push, the More They Pull (And How to Finally Break the Cycle)


Listen Later

If you bring something up and your partner shuts down or your partner comes at you and something inside just closes that's not a bad marriage. That's a dance.


And in Part 1 of our four-part Relationship Dances series, we break down the Push-Pull cycle, why both of you are stuck in it, and the exact moves that actually get you out.


In this episode:

  • Why the pursuer pushes harder when they're scared — and why it always backfires
  • Why the distancer pulls away and why it has nothing to do with not caring
  • How phones, scrolling, and busyness hide how disconnected you've actually become
  • Why knowing the pattern isn't enough and what has to happen instead
  • Why trust is built in the return, not the retreat
