Key question
What if your marriage didn’t need ‘more passion’—it just needed three very specific, awkward conversations?
The problem
We barely fight, but we also barely talk—it's like the spark died and now we just co-manage bills and kids.
What you'll get
Turn a ‘roommate marriage’ back into an emotionally connected partnership in 20-minute weekly experiments.
Description

If your marriage feels more like a calm, efficient business partnership than an actual relationship, this episode is for you. You’re not in crisis. You’re not screaming at each other. The bills get paid, the kids are fed, the calendar is color‑coded. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, it’s quiet. Too quiet. You barely fight, but you also barely talk. You share a couch, a bed, a Netflix profile… but not much of yourselves. The spark didn’t explode one day; it just slowly faded until you woke up…
