Keeping the peace doesn’t mean staying connected. 💔

For years, I thought avoiding conflict made me a good partner. Turns out, I was choosing peaceful distance over real intimacy.

When something bothered me, I'd stay quiet. No fight = healthy relationship, right? Wrong. 🙅‍♂️

Here's what I've learned (both personally and working with couples): Your partner doesn't see you "letting things go". They just feel you pulling away. The distance, the emotional withdrawal…and they internalize it.

You both end up feeling disconnected, but hey—at least there's no conflict! 😬

The truth? We don't want peaceful disconnection. We want connected peace—the kind that comes AFTER we've worked through something together.

Real intimacy requires us to:

✨ Name what's actually happening
✨ Navigate the uncomfortable conversations
✨ Move through conflict, not around it

Because on the other side of that brave conversation? That's where true connection lives.

Are you a peacekeeper or a peace-builder? 👇

It's around -20° in Minnesota right now, but I've seen even colder marriages. 🥶

Most couples don't wake up one day in a frozen relationship. It happens slowly—like the seasons changing from summer heat to the winter freeze. Hurts accumulate, conflicts go unresolved, and distance creeps in.

And the worst part? Most couples don't even understand what's happening. They just feel the chill and don't know how to warm things back up. 💔

When I work with couples, we don't just identify the problem. We uncover the underlying patterns creating distance and disconnect. Then we chart a path back to each other—back to the warmth, connection, and intimacy they're missing.

Your marriage doesn't have to stay frozen. There's a way through this.

Send me a DM if you’re ready to reconnect within your marriage. 👉

"Marriage takes work" is only half the truth. 👇

When I got married at 19, everyone warned me about how much WORK marriage would be. And yes, they were right—but no one told me the most important part.

Here's what I've discovered after a decade as a marriage therapist: The couples struggling the most aren't lacking effort, they're actually trying TOO hard...but in the wrong direction. 💔

They love each other and they want it to work, but the more they push to fix things the worse the pain gets.

The real shift happens when you understand:

➡️ WHY conflict creates pain in your relationship
➡️ WHAT dynamic gets triggered when that pain shows up
➡️ HOW to navigate through it in a way that actually brings you closer

It's not about working harder, it's about having the right map and knowing the path forward.

Less grinding. More understanding. Better results. ✨

Have you ever felt like the harder you try, the worse things get? 👇

So much love and so many lessons in 2016. ❤️

Looking back, 2016 wasn't wrong—it was unfinished. I was learning what connection really requires, what partnership actually asks of you, and how growth sometimes comes disguised as discomfort.

What I know now came from living through it. 🌱

Your marriage problems are NOT about communication. 📢

Telling you to "communicate better" is like teaching someone a better breaststroke when they're stuck in a rip current. 🌊

Here's the thing: You don't have to be a terrific swimmer to get out of a rip current, you just need the right technique.

But great swimmers drown all the time when they can't identify the rip current and attempt to swim out of it.

Same with your marriage.

You're smart. You're capable. You're successful everywhere else. ✨ But if you can't identify the pattern—the current pulling you under—you'll exhaust yourself trying to communicate your way out of it.

You don't need better communication skills. You need to:

1️⃣ Recognize the current (the pattern you're stuck in)
2️⃣ Use the right technique to get out

Once you can do that, everything changes.

If this makes sense, comment PATTERN and I'll send you a breakdown of how to identify the current in your relationship and the technique to get out of it. 👇

Dr. John Gottman can predict divorce with 90% accuracy, but not based on WHAT couples fight about.

He looks at the PROCESS they use to navigate conflict. ✨

If you keep having the same fight about money, parenting, or intimacy—it's not the topic. It's how you're navigating it.

There's an invisible pattern underneath:

➡️ One person reaches for connection but it comes out as criticism, demands, or questions
➡️ The other feels overwhelmed and shuts down, pulls away, or defends
➡️ the more one pursues, the more the other withdraws

You're both stuck in the cycle.

And if this isn't solved? Distance, disconnect...all the things we don't want. 💔

But once you see the pattern, you can break it.

Comment PATTERN and I'll send you a free video showing you exactly how this looks and the next step to solve it for good. 👇

You don't drift apart overnight.

It happens quietly between meetings, deadlines, responsibilities, and the constant pull of "just one more thing".

It doesn't mean your marriage is failing. ❤️

If you recognize any of these signs, pause here for a moment. Reconnection doesn't require a dramatic overhaul or more time you don't have. It starts with awareness, intentional conversations, and learning to repair instead of avoid.

Your marriage is allowed to evolve with you, and it deserves the same level of care and intention you give to everything else you're building. ✨

You're using problem-solving skills when presence is required. ✨

If you're a high achiever, this might feel uncomfortable to hear because you're really good at fixing things. You see a problem, you analyze it, and you offer a solution. This mindset has served you well in business.

But marriage doesn't heal through efficiency. It heals through presence. ❤️

Most couples aren't stuck because they don't care. They're stuck because they keep applying problem-solving skills to emotional moments that require connection.

So when your spouse shares something and you jump in with logic, when you defend instead of slowing down, when you try to move on before they feel understood...it does not mean your marriage is failing. It means you're leading with the wrong tool. 🔑

Connection isn't built by being right. It's built by being with someone. Curiosity over correction. Listening over fixing. Presence before progress.

The shift can change the tone of your conversations, the safety in your relationship, and the way conflict actually resolves. 🌱

You know how to build systems. You know how to solve problems. You know how to push through when things get hard...

But marriage doesn't respond to pressure the way business does. 🔑

Healthy couples aren't conflict-free, they're intentional. They don't avoid hard conversations, they repair after them. They don't listen to win, they listen to understand. They don't let small disconnects pile up until resentment takes over.

Here's the part most high achievers miss: You can't outwork emotional disconnection. 💯

The same drive that helps you succeed can quietly hurt your marriage if everything becomes about efficiency, logic, or being "right". Your spouse doesn't need a solution—they need presence, safety...to feel chosen again.

If your marriage feels distant right now, it doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human and probably stretched thin. ❤️

The good news? Connection can be rebuilt. Repair can be learned. And intentional shifts change everything over time.

You don't have to choose between success and a strong marriage. If you're ready to learn how to have both, click the link in the bio to save your spot on my free workshop—The Marriage Workshop for Business Owners. 👉
