Do you want to know why autopilot marriage happens despite your best intentions? Because in relationship good intentions are not enough.
With never-ending to-do lists, work, parenting, commitments with in-laws and more on the table in everyday life’s chaos, your relationship suffers. For husband and wife it’s easy to get caught in the day-to-day routine and forget to prioritise each other.
It’s no one’s fault and yet it has a massive impact on emotional connection, intimacy and communication which becomes less and less fulfilling. If you don’t feel seen and prioritised in your relationship, it’s not because of lack of good intentions by your partner, but those intentions may not be enough.
You may feel frustrated and think you need to hack most of what you do every day to have the time to dedicate to your marriage, but that’s not realistically possible in most cases.
In this episode we share the #1 thing that when implemented will transform your intentionality in an actionable step, bringing connection back on in your relationship, without having to stop doing everything else that is important in your to-do list.

Do you want to know why 85% of stonewalling happens in men? Research shows that between husband and wife the husband is more likely to fall into the pattern of stonewalling. With that said, research also shows that when the wife stonewalls it’s a real red flag signalling the risk of divorce.
Stonewalling often follows when there’s a pattern of contempt in communication. And although in some cases stonewalling can be used intentionally as a manipulation tactic within abusive relationships, this is not what is actually happening in most cases.
But whatever the reason for stonewalling, this emotional shutdown always communicates a message of rejection to your partner, and this is why in this episode we share how couples can consciously communicate to eradicate stonewalling as a pattern and transform the marriage together.
By following the four steps we share in this episode you will be able to catch the partner before it escalates in conflict and turn the situation around so that no partner is feeling rejected or hurt anymore.

Do you want to know why your date nights have been a disaster 9 times out of 10 despite your best efforts? Most husbands risk ruining date night despite coming from the best of intentions, because they are unskillful in communication. No one taught us this stuff!

Here are 20 things any husband must avoid saying to his way before, during and after going on their date night. So much effort goes into organising a great date with your partner, but saying 1 or more of these things can truly cause conflict, or at the very least it can bring disconnection. A date is set with the intention of escaping the daily busyness with your partner, to create emotional intimacy and a deeper connection. This is particularly important in longterm relationships where daily routine and chores can slowly kill intimacy. So why not improve your skills in communication, so that instead of creating conflict, you can set the foundations for a wonderful date fuelling a happy marriage?
