What if the very thing that makes your marriage feel safe is also what’s slowly draining its passion? In Part 2 of our fascinating conversation with psychologist and author Dr. Bruce Chalmer, we dive deep into the “death spiral” of passion—how couples who over-prioritize stability can accidentally shut down intimacy and feel miles apart.You’ll learn:
💔 Why emotional distance often feels like depression
🧠 How to pull back and see your relationship from a new perspective
🙏 The power of faith—religious or not—as a mindset for resilience
💬 How to apply Bruce’s 7-word formula: Be kind. Don’t panic. Have faith.Whether your marriage feels stuck or you’re simply ready to reignite your spark, this episode will help you find meaning in the mess, courage in the chaos, and connection in the conflict.

We love hearing from you!
