Summary
Do you find that you are physically together with your partner more than ever, yet still feeling disconnected? How could this be right? Well, connection isn't just about proximity. Connection also isn't something that you can just count on always being there. It takes attention and intention just like anything in life that you want to grow.
Today's topic came from multiple messages that we received within one hour. One of the questions saying: "What to do when you get disconnected? We are really intense, when we are close we are best friends. But sometimes we get into a cycle of and it's hard to get out of being disconnected. It gets bad enough that we feel like pushing the wedding away...this is not what we want, we want to be partners and make it work"
