| 0:00.0 | But what we recognize is our society is all geared for us to be comfortable and convenient. |
| 0:08.8 | And relationships are oftentimes uncomfortable and very inconvenient. |
| 0:13.8 | So it's an easier thing. |
| 0:17.1 | If you just did nothing, just kind of let the tide take you, it's easier to lean back, get comfortable, |
| 0:26.4 | avoid the inconvenient. And that's what we see a lot of happening with relationships. It's a reason |
| 0:31.3 | why a lot of relationships are actually breaking down. Yeah. And as a minimalist myself, |
| 0:36.5 | I would say, I think one of the biggest issues we're |
| 0:38.8 | facing in marriages and just romantic relationships in general. We have so many options. |
| 0:44.0 | We have so much stimulus coming to us every second of every day, right? This is Diane Bowden, |
| 0:50.9 | and you're listening to the minimalist moms podcast. Today's guests say that most marriages don't fall apart overnight. |

| 1:22.2 | the Drift, using what's known as the 1 in 60 rule and explain how even tiny misalignments, if left unaddress, can lead us further and further apart. |
| 1:31.0 | But what I really appreciate about this conversation is how practical it is. |
| 1:34.7 | We talk about the habits that quietly erode connection, and more importantly, the small intentional shifts that can bring you back together. |
| 1:41.8 | So if you've ever felt like you and your partner are just a little out of sync, this conversation could be really helpful in providing you a place to start. |
| 1:48.5 | But quickly before we get there, I want to share a minimalist moment of the week with all of you. |
| 1:52.3 | I'm not sure what it is right now, but I am in deep purging mode around my home. Maybe it's just |
