Are you ready to be close again with your partner? You and your partner have drifted apart and you’re at a phase in your marriage where you miss your partner, and the closeness you once had.

If you’re trying things that aren’t working, it is probably because you're forcing a type of pressure that is unnecessary in your marriage. To get the closeness back, you need to start small so everyone feels safe.

In this episode, I outline 3 things you can do to work on the emotional and physical intimacy in your marriage. This work is so important for a healthy marriage and a close relationship with your partner.

This episode is for couples who decided to take a physical break from one another, and are now back together. The break could have been for a few hours, or for a few months, but now that you’re back in the same house, it still feels cold.

The thing is, you can’t just hit the reset button on your relationship and time isn’t going to heal unresolved pain. You have to be intentional about repairing your relationship.

You might blame yourself when betrayal happens, or something shifts in your relationship. When you turn the betrayal inward, you ask yourself questions like ‘how could I have been so dumb?’ or ‘how could I have not seen the signs?’

The problem with this is that it will destroy your self-trust, which will affect so many areas of your life.

If this is your current situation, and you just want to know it’s not all your fault, I share three things you can do to start to heal. This exercise will help you stop second guessing yourself and reclaim your confidence.
