It happens so gradually you barely notice it. One day you’re soulmates, and the next, you’re just... roommates.
Life is busy. You still love each other, but the connection feels like it's been buried under a pile of logistics, work schedules, school drop-offs and even ministry. You're great partners in running a household, but you miss being soulmates.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Many couples have unintentionally fallen into this "roommate phase."
The Mistake: Letting "Life" Replace "Connection"
The single biggest mistake I see couples make is this: Allowing "life" to replace "connection."
We get so busy doing life together that we forget to be together. We talk about the bills, the kids, and what's for dinner, but we stop talking about our hearts, our dreams, or our fears.
The good news is that the fix isn't as complicated as you might think.
A Simple Fix: The 10-Minute "Check-In"
When you're feeling disconnected, you don't need to book an expensive weekend getaway. You just need to create a small, intentional moment of connection.
It's simple: Intentionally stop, put the phones down, look your partner in the eyes, and ask a question that isn't about logistics.
A simple, "How is your heart today?" can work wonders.
This small act breaks the cycle of "logistics" and creates a space to just be together again.
Want to Go Deeper? My New Book Launches Tuesday.
This 10-minute check-in is just one small idea from my new book, "Relationship Rescue," which officially launches this Tuesday, November 11th!
I wrote this concise, practical guide to give couples a biblically-based framework to stop the drift and find their way back to each other.
As a special "thank you" to my community, I'm making the Kindle e-book version available for a special pre-order price of just $2.99.
On Tuesday night, I will be raising the price to $9.99.
Because it can take Amazon's system several hours (or even a day) to process a price change, the only way to guarantee you get the $2.99 price is to pre-order it before Tuesday.
When you pre-order, Amazon will automatically deliver the book to your Kindle or Kindle app on Tuesday morning.
If you're ready to move out of the "roommate phase," this is your chance.
"This is your chance. Pre-order ['Relationship Rescue' on Amazon for just $2.99] before the price goes up Tuesday."
