Four Types of Connection in Marriage

What Every Disconnected Couple Should Ask

Causes of Apathy in a Marriage or Relationship

Focus on Reconnection Not on This . . .

It’s common in marriage to face issues that lead to apathy and eventually detachment. In this episode, I share helpful insights and practical steps to help couples overcome connection crises and rediscover their connection when the love has grown cold. 

There are warning signs that exist when a person or couple is becoming apathetic. We'll discuss what apathy looks like in a relationship, its causes, and how to overcome it and get your love back. No matter where you are in your marriage or relationship, I believe there is potential for redemption and renewal in any marriage or relationship that makes a genuine effort. A connection crisis does not condemn a relationship to perpetual apathy. It may be just the invitation you need to go from a love that's grown cold to a love that is more passionate than ever before.
