And somewhere in the middle of feeds, nappies and survival mode, emotional intimacy started to feel mmm… different.Not completely gone but definitely different.In this video, I’m sharing what changed in our marriage after we had out baby, the emotional distance that can happen without you even noticing, and how we’re intentionally rebuilding connection in this new season of life and how you can too. If you’ve ever felt like you and your partner are more co-parents than partners lately, you’re not alone and I truly hope this video helps.
