Avoiding the Roommate Phase: Daily Deposits in Marriage
Brian from Love How Deep discusses the dangers of the 'roommate phase' in marriage, where couples become excellent at logistics but lose their emotional connection. He introduces the concept of the Daily Deposit Principle, highlighting the importance of consistent, small acts of kindness and attention to build 'emotional bank accounts.' By focusing on each other's love languages and being vulnerable, couples can strengthen their emotional intimacy. Brian also emphasizes the need to guard one's attention to prevent relationship neglect. The video aims to help couples avoid living parallel lives and reconnect deeply.
