127. A Day in the Life, #2 (A peek into a big disconnection in the Vallottons’ marriage!)

This episode is a vulnerable look into a recent real-life disconnection in the Vallotton's marriage! Every relationship experiences disconnection, but what matters is how we navigate back to each other. Hosts Jason and Lauren Vallotton share a recent experience where two weeks of limited quality time left them functioning as roommates rather than romantic partners.

• Jason feeling a lack of nurturing and tenderness in our interactions
• Lauren's problem-solving tendency sometimes coming across as harsh or critical
• The difference between "disgust" and constructive feedback in communication
• How personality differences (Enneagram Two vs Six) affect our relationship needs
• The crucial distinction between being good at "partnership" versus "lovership"
• Understanding that some relationship patterns can't be fixed in a single conversation
• The importance of both acknowledging issues and taking concrete steps toward change

The way you start difficult conversations will determine with 80% accuracy how they end. Remember that connection should always be the goal!
