Episode Details

Marriage rarely falls apart all at once - it erodes slowly through disconnection, unmet expectations, and everyday pressure. In this episode, relationship expert Lindsey Maestas shares insights from her book Don’t Burn Your Own House Down, offering practical tools and hope for couples who feel distant, discouraged, or stuck. We talk about how small moments of neglect and resentment can quietly damage a marriage, why it’s possible to reconnect with the spouse you’re married to today, and how simple, intentional habits can rebuild trust, playfulness, and emotional intimacy.
