About this listen
What if one simple question could change how you communicate in your marriage?
In Episode 105 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis break down how asking “Does this bring connection or disconnection?” can instantly reshape conversations, arguments, and daily interactions.
They share:
- Why anxiety and “walking on eggshells” damage marriages
- How tone matters as much as content
- Why couples interpret conflict differently — and why that’s okay
- How asking better questions leads to better answers
- What actually creates disconnection (raised voices, feeling unseen, not being heard)
- How grace, humor, and understanding build long-term connection
This episode gives couples practical language and awareness to reduce stress, increase peace, and strengthen their marriage — which directly impacts parenting, finances, and family culture.
