Josh and Mandy share their journey from feeling profoundly disconnected in marriage to rediscovering genuine intimacy and connection through intentional conversations and personal growth.
• Previously at a level 8 loneliness despite living life together
• Discovered they were living "parallel lives" with clearly divided responsibilities
• Found looking into each other's eyes exposed they hadn't truly connected in years
• Learned to identify how their own self-criticism shaped how they heard their partner
• Recognized the danger of emotional apathy that had crept into their relationship
• Committed to weekly intentional conversations about difficult topics
• Navigated their first breakthrough by realizing they were having two different conversations
• Discovered it's okay to need each other rather than maintaining rigid independence
• Reported their loneliness level dropped from 8 to 2 in just 8-10 weeks
• Created a new vision for their marriage beyond what they had witnessed in their parents
If you're feeling disconnected in your marriage, know you're not alone. We invite you to take the first step by identifying one area of tension you can discuss with your spouse this week, and remember – the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for your marriage.
