Do you have a question you want answered about marriage, marital problems, relationship issues, and how to save your marriage?  Send an email and ask your question.  If it is something that would benefit others, I will answer it in a future podcast episode!

Answering a listener's question, "What IS connection, anyway?" Great question. And an important one, if you are trying to save your disconnected marriage. So, I discuss it in this week's Save The Marriage Podcast episode.If you are a regular listener of the Save The Marriage Podcast, you know how often I discuss “connection,” the importance of it and the dangers of disconnection. But do you know what I mean when I say, “connection”?

Chad didn’t.  So, he asked.

Sometimes, we can get pretty far down the path on a plan, but forget the basics, the fundamentals.

And connection is an absolutely crucial fundamental.  Broken marriages are disconnected marriages.  Healthy marriages are connected.  The disconnection is the path to failure.  And… no surprise… connection is the path to health and healing.

In our disconnected world, in our busy world, connection is often lost.  Not on purpose, but lost nonetheless.  And while it may have seemed effortless in the beginning, if you don’t understand what you are trying to do, you can get lost and confused.

In this episode of the podcast, I answer Chad’s question:  “What IS connection??”  (It just might answer your question, too.)

Immutable Law: There Is No Pause

Immutable Law of Marriage: There is no Pause.Every day, I hear the story:  “I thought we were just ‘on pause.’  After ______, we would get back to the relationship.”  That ______ can be:  friends, hobbies, education, job, sports, interests, and often — KIDS.

That time comes (if you even get that far), only to discover that the marriage was not on pause.  It was dying.

Sometimes, people find this out when there is no pulse, the relationship strangled of life.

What happened?

The Immutable Law Of Marriage is, “there is no pause in marriage.”

Connection is the life-blood of a marriage.  When you think you hit “pause,” you actually began strangling off the connection.  Once connection begins to fail, the marriage begins to suffocate.

Let’s talk about why you can’t hit “Pause,” and what to do if you already thought you hit “Pause.”
