If you're focusing on fixing the emotional or relational problems in your marriage but haven't addressed your spiritual disconnection, your efforts won't go as far or last as long. In today's episode, we're getting to the heart of why so many couples struggle in their marriages.

From my experience coaching couples, I see marriage problems like poor communication or emotional distance are often symptoms of a deeper problem—spiritual disconnection. I believe marriage is about more than just connecting physically or emotionally; it requires an ongoing, strong spiritual bond as well.

There are three main ways we connect in marriage: 

• Physical connection - good, but it isn’t strong enough to sustain a marriage.

• Emotional connection - better, but still incomplete

• Spiritual connection - best...the truest foundation that brings the deepest unity

In order to close the emotional gap in your marriage, you have to build a stronger foundation than feelings alone. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Understanding the cross and how marriage is a reflection of God

• How personal responsibility allows you to become more resilient through trials

• Becoming aware of how distractions keep you away from your real power
• The triangle analogy and why growing closer to God automatically grows you closer to your spouse
