Marriage

From Romance to Roommates… and Back Again!

Most marriages don't fall apart in a single dramatic moment. They drift. Slowly, quietly, two people who once couldn't stop talking become roommates who mostly coordinate logistics, who's picking up the kids, what's for dinner, who pays the bill.

The good news is that the drift can be reversed. It starts with small, intentional turns toward each other: a real question instead of a status update, ten unhurried minutes at the end of the day, a willingness to be curious about your spouse again instead of assuming you already know everything about them.

Romance isn't magic. It's attention, repeated. And it's never too late to start paying attention again.
