Why Good Intentions Aren’t Enough for Strong Families | V104

Описание: Why do so many marriages and families drift apart—even when there’s still love?

In Episode 104 of *High Performance Parenting*, Greg and Jacquie Francis unpack the real reasons connection fades over time. From simple ignorance, to misplaced priorities, to misunderstanding emotional capacity, they explain why families don’t disconnect overnight—but slowly, unintentionally, and quietly.

Why connection is never neutral — it’s either growing or shrinking
How “being busy” masks deeper relationship issues
Why financial provision alone doesn’t create emotional closeness
How misunderstanding capacity damages marriage and parenting
Why connection must be fought for in today’s distracted world
