In this episode, Larry and Julia Colbert dive into the two silent killers of intimacy in marriage: assumptions and shutting down.

When couples assume instead of asking, they create false stories that damage trust. When they shut down instead of opening up, they cut off the very connection that keeps a marriage alive.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

“Why do I feel distant from my spouse?”
“Why does communication always break down?”
“How can I rebuild intimacy in my marriage?”

…then this episode is for you.
