Ep. 215 - Stop Waiting for Date Night to Reconnect with Your Spouse
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Feeling disconnected from your spouse between date nights?
If you’ve ever planned a long-awaited date only to feel awkward or underwhelmed during it—or felt like the spark didn’t last—you’re not alone. This episode dives into why waiting for a big night out isn’t the answer and how to build lasting connection in your daily life instead.
As a marriage coach (and mom), I’m sharing how my husband and I stay connected without regular date nights by focusing on micro-connections.
In this episode I share:
- Why date nights aren't enough to stay connected
- What micro-connections are and how they create a strong emotional foundation
- Simple, doable ways to reconnect with your partner in the middle of your busy life
- Real-life examples of how to weave intentional moments into your daily routine
- How to shift your mindset from “we’ll connect when we can” to “we’re always building connection”
This episode is for you if:
- You feel like roommates more than romantic partners
- You’re exhausted and don’t have time or energy for grand gestures
- You want to feel smitten with your spouse again, even in the chaos of parenthood
