AwakenYou in Your Marriage
Relearning How to Enjoy Each Other Again
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have date nights, vacations, or time together with your spouse started to feel awkward or uncomfortable?
You're not alone in wondering what happened.
In this episode, I share reflections from a recent anniversary getaway with Jeff and why reconnecting after seasons of stress, distance, and disconnection often feels awkward before it feels close.
We'll talk about:
- Why couples slowly stop enjoying time together
- The pressure we put on ourselves to "feel connected"
- Why awkwardness isn't always a sign something is wrong
- How emotional safety and shared experiences rebuild trust over time
- The difference between forcing connection and staying present with what is
- Why you don't have to recreate the marriage you once had—you can create something new
If spending time together hasn't felt easy lately, I hope this conversation reminds you that rebuilding intimacy doesn't usually happen in grand moments.
Sometimes it begins quietly.
Sometimes it begins with simply staying.
