  Ep. 128: I Don't Have a Name For This Dynamic Other Than Marriage Shutdown

  Jul 27, 202634 min

  One partner feels like they have to carry everything. The other feels like nothing they do is ever enough. Over time, both people start pulling away, resentment grows, and the marriage begins to shut down. In this episode, I'm unpacking a relationship pattern I see over and over again with the couples I coach. We explore how this dynamic develops after having kids, why neither partner intentionally creates it, and the practical shifts each person can make to stop the cycle before it leads to burnout, disconnection, or divorce. Tune in to discover: • The dynamic that creates marriage shutdown • Why one partner feels like they can't opt out • How resentment and burnout fuel disconnection • What each spouse can do to break the cycle • Why changing your side can transform your marriage Leave a review for a chance to win The Us System !  Let’s Connect!

  Jul 20, 202632 min

  The Five Love Languages have helped millions of couples better understand each other. But what if the way you're using them is actually creating more frustration, disappointment, and distance in your marriage? In this episode, I'm unpacking the biggest mistakes couples make with love languages and why they sometimes leave people feeling even less loved than before. We also explore why some couples have moved away from love languages altogether, and how to use this popular framework in a way that builds connection instead of resentment. Tune in to discover: • The biggest mistake couples make with love languages • Why love languages alone won't fix your marriage • How using them the wrong way creates resentment • Why your relationship needs change over time • A healthier way to use love languages to build connection Book a Marriage Shutdown Breakthrough Call Leave a review for a chance to win The Us System !  Let’s Connect!
