Feeling emotionally disconnected in your law enforcement marriage? Here's how to reconnect before resentment takes over. 💔👮♂️💞
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this heartfelt and candid episode, Cyndi and her husband Bobby open up about the hidden disconnects that often creep into law enforcement marriages — especially when shift work, hypervigilance, and emotional exhaustion collide. Through personal stories and therapy insights, they explore why couples often "miss" each other's efforts to connect and how misinterpreted gestures can build emotional distance. They unpack how mismatched energy, unclear communication, and love language differences can leave both partners feeling unseen — and share practical ways to rebuild intimacy, connection, and understanding.
Hosted by Cyndi Doyle, founder of Code4Couples®, licensed professional counselor supervisor, retired police spouse, and author of Hold the Line: The Essential Guide to Protecting Your Law Enforcement Relationship.
