Have you ever felt like you're just roommates with your spouse instead of soulmates? The culprit might be hidden in plain sight - those small, everyday moments you're missing.
In this continuation of our Marriage Reset series, we dive deep into how busyness erodes relationships and why the solution isn't what most couples think. While many struggling couples pin their hopes on vacations or date nights to reconnect, research reveals something far more powerful: micro-moments of connection.
Relationship researcher Dr. Elaine Morris discovered after studying thousands of couples that those who stayed together responded positively to each other's "connection cues" about 84% of the time, while those who divorced responded only 30% of the time. These subtle bids for connection - a question about your day, sharing excitement over a find, a gentle touch - are constantly happening, but most of us miss them completely.
We share Jake's powerful story of a family lake house getaway that nearly imploded under the weight of impossible expectations, along with personal examples from our own 23-year marriage journey. Michelle's enthusiasm for Christmas decorating and Daniel's evolution in responding to her joy provides a touching glimpse into how these principles transform real relationships.
You'll learn to recognize the three responses to connection bids - turning toward, turning away, or turning against - and how each impacts your relationship over time. We provide practical examples of common connection cues and their hidden meanings, helping you spot opportunities for connection you've been missing.
The beauty of this approach is its simplicity. You don't need more time, money, or complicated strategies - just awareness and intention in everyday moments. As we wrap up this episode, remember: roommates don't have time for each other, but soulmates use simple everyday moments to stay connected.
Listen now and discover how these micro-moments can breathe new life into your relationship without adding one more thing to your busy schedule.
