Why Did We Stop Talking?

Episode Description:

It didn’t end in a fight.

There was no explosion.

Just less.

Less laughter. Less eye contact. Less reaching across the bed—until eventually, there was silence.

In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Eddie Eccker explores the quiet unraveling of modern relationships and how communication often dies, not with chaos, but with emotional fatigue and unspoken expectations.

You’ll hear why so many couples stop talking—not because they’ve stopped loving, but because they’ve grown tired of walking on eggshells, being misunderstood, or always trying to keep the peace.

And most importantly, you’ll learn how to find your way back.

In this episode:

• Why emotional erosion is more dangerous than big fights
• The cultural lie of hyper-independence and how it damages connection
• How to recognize the hidden story killing your communication
• Small, honest steps to rebuild intimacy without shame or blame

Whether you’re feeling the slow drift or wondering if it’s too late to reconnect, this episode offers hope, clarity, and real tools to move forward.

💬 Because silence isn’t the end.

It’s just the signal that something deeper needs to be healed.
