When the Spark Fades… and the Ex Shows Up

When the Spark Fades… and the Ex Shows Up

This week we're giving our unqualified advice on two tough relationship dilemmas that many moms and wives secretly wrestle with. One listener says the spark in her marriage has faded. Her husband seems more interested in work and hanging out with friends than spending time with her, and she's wondering if this is just a season of life or a sign of something bigger. Another listener has been married for 20 years but is finding herself having feelings for an old high school boyfriend. Now she's considering telling him how she feels. We're talking about emotional disconnection, unmet needs, nostalgia, temptation, and what to do when your heart starts looking outside your marriage for something it's missing.
