Most couples glide into the new year on autopilot, sometimes with excitement and optimism, hoping things will feel different, more connected, less chaotic… yet they end up repeating the same patterns that make it feel the same as last year . In this episode, we're giving you one of the most powerful "end-of-year check-in" conversations we use with our private coaching clients. It's a guided reset that helps you break out of routine, reconnect with each other's dreams and needs, and get aligned before January even begins. Think of this episode as your personal coaching session; one that can spark more clarity, purpose, and connection between you than you've felt in months.

We'll walk you through four core areas of your life and relationship that absolutely shape how fulfilled, peaceful, and united you feel as a couple. You'll leave with prompts, structure, and a simple framework to help you set the tone for 2026 with intention, not stress or default habits. If you want the upcoming year to feel meaningful, fun, and deeply connected, this is the conversation to have before December 31st!

So many couples love each other deeply… yet still feel disconnected. They talk every day, but the conversations revolve around schedules, responsibilities, and what needs to get done next. In this episode, we're unpacking why emotional intimacy often fades in long-term relationships, not because the love is gone, but because genuine connection isn't being fed. You'll learn what emotional intimacy actually is (in practical, real-life terms), why so many partners misunderstand it, and the surprising psychology behind why couples get stuck in surface-level communication.

Then we'll walk you through 5 simple, powerful actions that help you move from "talking" to truly connecting again. Whether your marriage feels good but could use a deeper spark, or you've been feeling like roommates who care about each other but don't feel emotionally close, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and next steps you can implement right away.

If you're ready to reignite the spark and create more emotional and physical intimacy in your marriage, sign-up for our special edition 30-Day Couples Challenge, The Best of Us. It's only open 3 times per year and couples absolutely love it.
