My Husband's Phone Use Was Hurting Our Marriage When I Realized We'd Become That Couple Glued To Their Screens I self-consciously looked around the restaurant, trying to gauge if anyone was seeing what I was seeing… That we were one of those couples.. You know.. the ones who just stare at their phones while waiting for their meals to arrive instead of engaging in conversation, and (what?!)… actually CONNECTING. Screens had long been a point of contention between us. My husb

My husband won't communicate with me: the communication breakthrough that builds real intimacy “The secret to a happy marriage is communication”. Hmm.. I wondered.. If that was true.. Then why weren’t we happy? We sure did a lot of communicating. … Or did we? On second thought, I did a lot of communicating. He did a lot of quietly sitting through our talks with very little feedback. It was frustrating and exhausting to be married to someone who couldn’t communicate. Especia

How to thrive during family visits so they don't put stress on your marriage There’s a Mexican proverb that says, “guests, like fish, begin to stink after three days”. I never quite understood the meaning.. Until I became the one hosting. If you’ve ever had guests come and stay with you for an extended period of time, you may have also experienced the stress and tension that can put on you (and your marriage). There’s something deeply vulnerable about being seen, really se

This is the hidden habit that hurts your marriage

The only one trying in your marriage So many wives who are carrying their marriage alone, are often so open to having the tough conversations and more than willing to work on the relationship. But the harder they work, the more distant their husband seems to become. If you're the only one trying in your marriage, you’re probably exhausted from feeling like you’re the only one trying in your relationship. Frustrated that if it weren’t for you, the marriage might already be ov

My Husband Keeps Disappointing Me: Why It Hurts So Much (And What to Do About It) If you've found yourself thinking, "My husband keeps disappointing me," I want you to know you're not alone. In fact, this is one of the most common struggles I hear from wives. Maybe you've had the same conversation dozens of times. Maybe you've asked for more help, more connection, more affection, or more partnership. Maybe he says he understands. Maybe he even tries for a little while. And th

I feel unheard in my marriage A woman once told me:"I don't even bring things up anymore. I’ve told him how I feel a hundred times and it makes no difference, so what’s the point?” The truth was.. she was far from happy. She was lonely and frustrated. She still wanted connection. She still wanted to feel known. She still wanted to believe her husband cared about what was happening in her heart. She wanted to feel like a team and feel cared for. She just didn't know how to ke

A client of mine came to me with a challenge I hear all the time. Her husband had been distant for months. He'd come home, go straight to his phone, give her one-word answers, and fall asleep without really talking to her. They were living parallel lives under the same roof, and she couldn't figure out what had happened to them. She told me she'd tried everything. She'd brought it up. She'd asked him what was wrong. She'd cried. She'd pulled back to see if he'd notice. Nothin

That's what we're talking about today. Emotional safety.

Why do I feel like I have to do everything myself in my marriage? It's exhausting to feel like you have to carry the mental load in a marriage. Not just physically doing things (like driving kids around, house work, paying bills, etc), but thinking about everything. Planning everything. Managing the timing, the details, the emotions, the experience. And somehow, even when your husband is helping, you still feel stressed, frustrated, or alone in the responsibility of it all. S

Trying to have a respectful marriage but you keep slipping You've committed to making your marriage better, and you know that means being intentional about how you interact with your husband. Maybe you've even begun learning and applying the Six Intimacy Skills. You genuinely want this to work, and for a little while, it does. You catch yourself before you say the thing, you bite your tongue, you try the skills and something softens between you and your husband, and you think

When you can't agree with your husband It is incredibly frustrating to feel like you and your husband are always on opposite sides, unable to see eye to eye or make decisions together as a team. You look at other couples who always seem to be on the same page and wonder, how do they do it? Maybe you have even wondered, after years together, whether you and your husband have such different values, perspectives, and desires that you will never truly feel like a unit. That can b
