Shane and Charity share their journey from deep connection as newlyweds to growing disconnection after military retirement, and how they found their way back to each other through a structured approach to communication. They reveal how transitions in life inevitably change marriages, requiring couples to "die" to their old relationship patterns in order for new, deeper connections to emerge.• Married 10 years, both retired from military careers, experienced gradual disconnection despite deep love for each other• Initially unsure why conversations felt one-sided and surface-level despite their efforts• Charity felt resentful when trying different approaches to connect, while Shane was physically present but emotionally distracted• Discovered the concept of "staying in your backyard" - focusing on what you can control rather than trying to change your partner• Implemented a weekly "couple's connection" hour with a structured framework that includes dedicated connection time• Created personalized "promises" to each other about their individual growth work• Now experience greater empathy, creativity, and safety in their relationship• Feel like "marriage nerds" who genuinely look forward to their connection sessions"We must die to the marriage we have in order for a new one to emerge." Difficult conversations don't go away - they just get harder to have if we avoid them._______💥💥Everything you need to grow the marriage you long for is waiting for you in the Marriage Growth Community:https://beautifuloutcome.com/mgc-one-time-offer 🎁 Free Gift for you! 100 Prompts and Ideas to Connect with your Spouse! 🎁 FREE GIFT: Turn Defensiveness into Connection! https://beautifuloutcome.com/e-guide _ 👉 Take the free communication quiz!
