Do You Feel a Lack of Emotional Connection in Your Intimate Relationships?
Do you feel emotionally disconnected from your partner? Need to save your marriage or relationship with a significant other? In this special episode, recorded LIVE at the Lilly Theater in Indianapolis, Indiana, I talk to my live audience (and you of course) all about intimacy in relationships. You’ll learn how to identify if you feel an emotional disconnect with your partner. I will share with you how my husband and I identified our emotional disconnect AND what we did to emotionally reconnect.
The talk of intimacy is pretty touchy (pun not intended). It’s always hard, as you probably know, to own up to being faulty within your intimate relationships. It’s even harder when you feel like you need to “change yourself” to make your relationships work. Remember that fixing your marriage and strengthening your relationships don’t have to be tedious or dreadful. It’s time to accept where you have (most likely unintentionally) gone wrong and mend the pieces of your relationships that have rusted and broken over time. Put on a smile and know there IS hope.
It was REALLY hard work for Bret and I both to reconnect our marriage and build intimacy, and it’s something we are both incredibly proud of ourselves for today. It was definitely a long, patient journey, but we made it happen and our relationship now is stronger than ever before. I know you and your partner can make it happen too.
