Show Notes:
In this episode, we explore the all too familiar feeling of being like roommates instead of romantic partners in marriage, especially for busy parents. We discuss the signs of this "roommate phase" and offer practical strategies to reconnect, including prioritizing quality time, improving communication, sparking novelty back into the relationship, and rebuilding intimacy. We also share actionable tips to nurture your marriage and reignite the romantic spark.
Enjoy!

Quotes:
Mignon McLaughlin: "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."
Patricia Love wisely said, "The deepest moments of intimacy occur when you're not talking."
Dr. John Gottman puts it, "Every positive thing you do in your relationship is foreplay."
Jackson Brown Jr.: "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh: "When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return."
