There is one tool that has the power to shift the emotional climate of your marriage faster than almost anything else. It reduces shutdown, lowers stress, strengthens teamwork, and helps you feel genuinely seen by your spouse. But even though it is simple, most couples struggle to use it consistently or effectively after kids.

In today’s episode, I am breaking down why this tool matters so much, what gets in the way of using it, and how to start integrating it into your marriage in a way that feels authentic instead of forced. This one shift can completely transform how connected, supported, and understood you feel.
