You open up about something emotional… and your spouse completely misses it.They try to fix it, change the subject, or talk about someone else instead.And just like that—you shut down.This is how emotional intimacy quietly unravels in marriage. Not with a big fight, but with a missed moment. A break in connection. A silence that grows.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm sharing a very real moment from my own marriage—something that happened just days ago—that brought this all into sharp focus.We talk about:

Before Figuring Out Your “Second” Marriage with Your Spouse, Engage with Your “First” Marriage of Body & SoulThis class was presented on Thursday, 17 Iyar, 5785, May 15, 2025, Parshas Emor, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9684

Have you ever been in a moment with your spouse where you felt a swirl of emotions?You're hurt.Frustrated.Disappointed.But underneath all of it—you know that you still love them.That's exactly where I found myself the day after our 20th anniversary.I had planned the evening. Jeff gave me flowers… a day late.And the way he handed them to me? Let's just say it didn't land the way he probably hoped.It would've been so easy to let my disappointment take over.To shut down.To keep a little distance as a way of protecting my heart.But I did something different this time.Something I've been practicing—and helping my clients practice too. And in today's episode, I'm sharing what happened, what I learned, and how it might shift the way you navigate these moments in your marriage too.

This week's episode is a tender one — one that honestly surprised even me as I lived it.Inside the episode, I share a brand-new break that happened in my marriage recently — a quiet, significant shift that exposed a dynamic I've lived with for years, often without fully realizing how much it impacted my heart.You'll have to tune in to hear exactly what happened. But more importantly, I want you to listen because this same dynamic could be quietly playing out in your marriage too — leaving you feeling lonelier, less connected, or even less drawn to your spouse without fully understanding why.In this conversation, I'll walk you through:Why emotional intimacy often feels so elusive (especially with partners who think love means protection)How emotional distance silently erodes connection and attraction over timeWhy feeling sadness or longing is not a sign of weakness — but a sign that your heart is still alive and hopefulHow you can begin softening the walls between you and your spouse, even if they feel high right nowIf you've ever wondered why you feel like you have most of your spouse—but not all of them—this episode is especially for you.Your dream of deeper connection isn't out of reach. And sometimes the first step is simply naming the ache you feel inside.Come listen. Your heart will feel less alone.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Hi everyone! In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in Bharani nakshatra.

We also discuss Akshaya Tritiya, it's meaning, and how we can participate.

In many marriages, there's a quiet, often invisible dynamic that keeps one person shrinking and the other wondering why they feel so alone — even when both partners care deeply.It's called the “one down” position.And it's more common than you might think.Sometimes it looks like always apologizing…Or saying, “You deserve better than me.”Or hiding behind a wall of withdrawal and silence.But underneath, it's all rooted in shame — a belief that “I'm not enough,” or “I don't belong in this relationship as I am.”In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm diving deep into this dynamic:

This combination will occur between March 29, 2025 - May 29, 2025 according to the True Node system. This combination does not get that great of a reputation... for good reason! The Boston Marathon Bomber, Iraq War, assassinations - it carries a lot of heaviness, weight, anxiety, and fear. Some consider it Pishach Yoga, which refers to a demonic energy or malevolent spirit. In this segment, we explore the combination practically while also offering helpful insight into WHY it may not play out so terribly on a personal level. (I've seen many opportunities as well!)Learn more about what to expect to navigate these few months gracefully.

Have you ever gone through a season in your marriage where things felt… quiet? Not in a peaceful, cozy way — but in a Where did we go? kind of way. Maybe you're in that season right now. Conversations feel dull or distant. You're both going through the motions. You're wondering if the connection you once had is gone for good. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing a reflection that's been stirring in my heart during Holy Week — one I believe might speak directly into that space. It's about Good Friday.The silence.The sorrow.The waiting. And how that part of the Easter story — the part most of us would rather skip — might just mirror what you're walking through in your marriage. But here's the hope:God is still working in the silence.He is not done writing your story.And nothing — not even the parts that feel lifeless — is beyond redemption. This episode is a gentle invitation to sit with the pain, listen for God's whisper, and believe again in the possibility of resurrection… even in your marriage. CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Hi everyone!In today's segment, we are going to explore the asterism of Mrigashira. Mrigashira is associated to the deer, Soma, and is governed by the planet Mars. Mrigashira is all about the chase, the hunt, and is ever seeking - driving this nakshatra to be passionate, driven, and adventure oriented. Seeking the Truth, they will read and research endlessly until they are a wealth of knowledge. Playful and charming like a deer, they always seem to be able to light up a room with their incredible humor. We explore the complexities of this multifaceted lunar mansion.

Let's say you bought something this week—a new pair of shoes, a few Amazon “add to cart” moments—and didn't tell your spouse. Not because it was a big secret, but because… what's the point, right?Guess what...Most of us aren't intentionally lying in our marriages.But we're often not fully telling the truth either.We leave out the small stuff—spending, frustrations, unmet needs—because we're trying to avoid conflict or protect ourselves from judgment. But those little omissions? They slowly pull us away from the very intimacy we crave.This week on AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm talking about what it really means to be open and honest in your relationship—and why this kind of vulnerability is one of the most important things you can practice.We'll explore:Why we hold back (even when we think it's “not a big deal”)How hiding creates cracks in the foundation of your marriageWhat it looks like to start being more honest in small, safe waysHow to prepare your nervous system for the discomfort of truth—and the connection that followsA real-life example of how one couple began opening up about their spendingIf you've ever felt like you and your spouse live beside each other more than with each other… this episode is for you.And if you're ready to take this deeper in your own marriage, book a Courageous Love Conversation with me.

I know the journey to a healthier, more connected marriage can feel slow. Sometimes it feels like you're doing the work, showing up differently, choosing patience, and yet… nothing seems to change.Maybe your spouse still reacts the same way. Maybe old patterns resurface. Maybe you wonder if all this effort is even worth it.I want you to stop for a moment. Breathe.And hear this: The work you are doing matters.Even if you can't see the full transformation yet.Even if your spouse hasn't changed in the way you hoped.Even if you've stumbled along the way.Healing and growth don't happen in an instant. They happen in the quiet, unseen moments—the ones where you choose to listen instead of react, where you pause before frustration takes over, where you remind yourself that change is a process, not a destination.And if you've put the work down—if you've felt discouraged and stopped trying—it's not too late to pick it back up.Because here's the truth: Every small effort is shaping the marriage you'll have a year from now.Think about that for a moment.What if, a year from now, you could look back and see that your patience, your persistence, your choice to keep going—despite the setbacks—created a deeper, more loving, more secure connection than you ever thought possible?It's not just possible—it's inevitable if you commit to the process.So today, I want to encourage you:Keep going, even if the change feels slow.Keep choosing love, even when it's hard.Keep believing in the marriage you desire, because it is within reach.And if you need support in this process—if you need someone to help you stay the course—I'd love to have a Courageous Love Conversation with you.You don't have to do this alone.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Marriage is full of seasons—some where you're both thriving, some where you're both struggling, and the hardest ones, where one of you is drowning while the other is doing just fine. In this episode, Tera, Echo, and Phyllis get real about what it looks like to stay connected when your partner is in a tough place, how codependency sneaks in without us realizing it, and why we were never meant to carry everything for each other. They unpack the guilt, the resentment, and the loneliness that can show up in these seasons, and share the tools that helped them stop fixing, start seeing, and actually enjoy their marriage again.Links and Resources:Book a discovery call for Overwhelm Overhaul: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/tera-wages/30min⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/wheel⁠⁠⁠ To enroll in Foundations use the code PODCAST for 20% off: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/marriage-course-online⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book a coaching session with Dr. Glenn: ⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/marriage-help⁠⁠⁠ (If links are not working, please copy and paste connectioncodes.co to your search bar and look through our site menu!)⁠⁠_________________________________________________________________Connect with Echo Hill Vetter:Echo Hill Vetter's Substack | Letters from Nashville: ⁠⁠⁠https://substack.com/@echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠  Echo on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠ Schedule 1:1 Coaching or Group Coaching with Echo: ⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/echohillvetter⁠⁠⁠ Echo's LinkTree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/echohillvetterChapters:00:00:00 – The Part of Marriage No One Prepares You For00:01:06 – Saying the Wrong Name, Every Time00:02:04 – When Life Drains You and Your Spouse Doesn't Get It00:03:40 – The Worst Thing You Can Do When Your Partner is Struggling00:07:03 – How We Accidentally Made Marriage Impossible00:11:50 – Your Spouse is Not Your Village00:24:18 – Codependency Feels Like Love—Until It's Not00:28:27 – The Silent Ways We Sabotage Ourselves00:29:06 – The Cost of Ignoring Your Own Body00:31:29 – The Difference Between Asking and Expecting00:33:50 – Speak Now or Resent Later00:35:42 – The Secret to Processing Without Over-Talking00:38:34 – Breaking the Patterns That Keep You Stuck00:49:15 – You Weren't Meant to Do This Alone00:52:12 – It's Time to Stop Pretending Everything's Fine

Have you ever wished your spouse would just see their part?You try to talk about the struggles in your marriage, hoping they'll acknowledge how their actions (or inactions) are affecting you. But instead, they dismiss it. Defend themselves. Maybe even turn it back on you. And you're left feeling unheard, unseen, and like you're carrying the weight of the relationship all by yourself.I know that feeling. I lived it.For years, I felt like I was the one always reflecting, always working, always trying to figure things out—while Jeff seemed… fine. It wasn't that he didn't care, but he wasn't seeing his part in our struggles. And because of that, I stayed in a protective stance, bracing myself for disappointment.Until something shifted.For the first time, Jeff admitted his own brokenness in a way I had never heard before. And in that moment, something inside me changed. My body relaxed. My heart softened. And I felt a sense of safety I didn't even realize I was craving.So I sat down with Jeff for an open, honest conversation about what changed.Why was it so hard for him to admit his own struggles before?What was actually going on inside of him when he resisted seeing his part?And what finally helped him get to a place where he could take ownership?I didn't hold back in this conversation, and neither did he.If you've ever wondered why your spouse doesn't seem to see their own contribution to the disconnection, or if you've been waiting (and waiting) for them to finally get it, this episode is one you need to hear.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Ever feel like you're the only one trying to improve your marriage?It seems as though you're constantly reflecting, adjusting, and trying to make things better—while your spouse seems unaware or unwilling to see their part? Maybe they shut down, get defensive, or act like you're the one making a big deal out of nothing.It's frustrating. Exhausting. And it can make you feel completely alone in the relationship.But why does this happen?Why is it so hard for some people—especially men—to admit their own brokenness?This week on the podcast, I'm diving into this question. Because when one spouse refuses to acknowledge their contribution to marital struggles, it creates a wall that keeps the relationship stuck. The other partner is left feeling unheard, unseen, and reluctant to change because why should they be the only one doing the work?The truth is, many people—men in particular—have been conditioned to see admitting fault as a weakness rather than a strength. They've been taught that being a “good” spouse means providing and protecting, not necessarily self-reflecting and taking emotional responsibility.And when they do start to see their part, it can feel overwhelming—like they're failing or disappointing the person they love. So instead of leaning in, they push back.In this episode, I'm unpacking:Why taking ownership of our flaws feels so difficult.How this resistance impacts the marriage dynamic.What creates safety for BOTH spouses to be honest about their struggles.And how even one person can start to shift the cycle in a healthier direction.But that's not all—I'm also bringing Jeff into this conversation.Next week, I'll be sharing a raw and honest interview with him about this very dynamic. We'll talk about what was going on inside of him when he struggled to admit his own brokenness, what finally shifted for him, and what he would say to other spouses who feel stuck in this cycle.This follow-up episode is going to be a powerful one—especially if you've ever wished your spouse could just see their part in the struggles.So first, listen to this week's episode to lay the foundation, and then get ready for next week's conversation with Jeff.Have you ever felt like your spouse just doesn't see their part in the struggles? CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

How to File for Divorce if You Can't Locate Your Spouse | Los Angeles Divorce

Have you ever had a moment where your spouse did something small—ignored a request, seemed distracted, didn't respond the way you hoped—and suddenly, you found yourself way more upset than you expected? Maybe you lashed out, shut down, or felt deeply hurt over something that, logically, didn't seem that big.It happens! And there's a reason this happens.In those moments, your reaction isn't just about your spouse—it's about something deeper.

Or maybe you grew up feeling like you had to fight to be seen and heard.Fast forward to today, and your nervous system still remembers. So when your spouse seems disconnected or unresponsive, your body reacts—not just to them, but to all the times you felt unseen before.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm talking about what's really happening when small conflicts turn into big emotional reactions—and how you can start recognizing and responding differently.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why certain interactions with your spouse feel more painful than they “should”✅ How to recognize when your inner child is reacting instead of your adult self✅ Simple steps to pause, reparent yourself, and shift into a response that creates connection instead of conflictThis is a powerful shift that can change the way you show up in your marriage—and help you move from frustration and resentment to deeper understanding and connection.Here's to seeing yourself—and your marriage—with new eyes. ❤️CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
