Most couples don’t break up—they just slowly drift apart.

In this episode, Brad Rhoads sits down with marriage leader John McGee (creator of re|engage and longtime voice in the marriage space) to talk about a subtle but universal reality: even loving couples can end up distant. No blow-up. No betrayal. Just years of emotional drift.

John unpacks why that happens, what it looks like, and how to course-correct before the damage sets in. If your marriage feels “fine” but not connected—or if you’ve been living like roommates—this conversation is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

You’ll learn:
• The most common signs a marriage is drifting
• Why even good spouses get stuck in “parallel lives”
• The habits that rebuild emotional connection
• How empathy outperforms solutions
• What to do when you feel unseen or disconnected
