You open up about something emotional… and your spouse completely misses it.
They try to fix it, change the subject, or talk about someone else instead.
And just like that—you shut down.
This is how emotional intimacy quietly unravels in marriage. Not with a big fight, but with a missed moment. A break in connection. A silence that grows.
In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I’m sharing a very real moment from my own marriage—something that happened just days ago—that brought this all into sharp focus.
We talk about:
🗣️ What really breaks down in these vulnerable moments
❤️ How trust erodes when we don’t feel heard
🔄 Why knowing the tools isn’t the same as using them
🔧 And how we repaired afterward—because the repair is what really matters
This episode isn’t about perfection.
It’s about what happens when you’re trying… and still get it wrong.
And why that doesn’t have to be the end of the conversation.
I am a marriage coach helping women and couples turn their loveless & disconnected marriage into something better than they ever imagined possible.

Once you’ve started to open up to what is possible together we create a path towards the marriage you crave.
If you feel sad and powerless about your marriage’s state of affairs, I’d love to chat with you about how you’re feeling and what moving towards something different could look like. Book your Courageous Love Conversation Inquiry Call today, and let’s talk about how to get started.
