SUMMARY: What happens when a marriage starts drifting apart — and one or both spouses wonder if it’s even possible to reconnect? 

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, and sit down with author, speaker, and podcast host to talk about the quiet disconnection many couples experience and the practical ways healing can begin — even when things feel broken.

  • Why many marriages slowly drift into “roommate mode”  
  • What often causes emotional disconnection beneath the surface

  • The small shifts that can create major transformation
