Have you ever caught yourself thinking… “We’re just stuck in the same patterns”?

Maybe you’re tired of the arguments that go nowhere…

Or feeling like roommates who just handle the day-to-day stuff but don’t really connect anymore.

You can have more than a marriage that just “functions.”

You deserve one that feels fulfilling—where you enjoy each other, laugh together, and feel like true partners.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m sharing what it really takes to build that kind of marriage.

After listening, you’ll walk away with:

:: A way to get clear on what you actually want in your relationship (beyond just knowing what’s not working)

:: How to stop repeating the same old habits and start showing up differently

:: Why your growth matters just as much as your partner’s (and what that looks like in real life)

:: Simple shifts that make intimacy and connection easier

This episode will lay out the steps necessary to create a marriage you actually love living in.

But behind closed doors, it feels like constant miscommunication, emotional distance, or like you’re just roommates passing in the night.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why even high-achieving couples struggle in marriage, the common patterns I see that quietly erode connection, and the key shifts that help you communicate better, laugh more, and feel like a team again.

If you’ve ever thought, “We should be happier than this,” you’ll want to listen in.

Early Enrollment opens September 23-30.

When it comes to your marriage, progress doesn’t come from one big breakthrough conversation or waiting for your partner to suddenly change. Progress comes from habits.

Not the once-in-a-while things you do when you’re on your best behavior, but the predictable patterns you fall into over and over again.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to recognize these habits for what they are, and—more importantly—how to start changing them so you can create a different experience in your marriage.

You’ll learn:

How to spot the patterns that keep pulling you both back into the same fights.

Why self-awareness is the first step in shifting your behavior.

What it takes to experiment with new ways of responding—and why that matters.

How to create systems and structures (like code words or marriage check-ins) that make new habits stick.

And why celebrating small wins is just as important as the big breakthroughs.

If nothing changes about what you do, nothing changes about what you experience. But once you start shifting your habits, you’ll not only make progress—you’ll transform who you are to each other.
