You're up. You're down. You're good. You're not. Marriage can seem like a never-ending roller coaster of dysfunction that keeps you dizzy and sick.

One minute you're connected, the next you're not. One of you criticizes. The other withdraws. One pursues harder. The other shuts down even more. Eventually, you’re both exhausted, misunderstood, and wondering why you keep ending up in the exact same place.

In this episode we talk through why these patterns become so automatic, what’s really happening underneath the reactions and how to interrupt the cycle.

It doesn’t have to stay this way. You can learn to step off the roller coaster and begin creating a marriage with more peace, connection, and emotional safety.
