Why Couples Go From Lovers to Roommates (And How To Fix It)

Описание: At some point in almost every long-term relationship, something quietly shifts. You’re still a team. You’re still functional. You still love them…
But suddenly your spouse feels more like a roommate than a lover... and no one quite knows how it happened.

In this episode, we’re talking honestly about that “roommate phase” so many couples find themselves in, especially in the thick of parenting, responsibilities, exhaustion, and survival mode. We unpack how easy it is to slip into without realizing it, why it’s not a sign your marriage is broken, and what actually helps you find your way back to connection.

We share personal stories from our own marriages, the small (but powerful) shifts that helped us move out of roommate mode, and why communication, vulnerability, and awareness matter more than grand gestures. We talk love languages, emotional cycles in marriage, and how intimacy often fades, not because love is gone, but because life gets loud.

This isn’t about blaming your partner or “fixing” your marriage.
It’s about noticing the drift, understanding what’s underneath it, and choosing connection — again and again.

If your relationship feels more practical than passionate lately, you’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong.
