In this 5-Minute Friday episode, Monty and Jeannine talk about the reasons why couples drift apart. What once felt close, connected, and full of life… can begin to drift into something quieter… more routine… even lonely.
And for many couples… that distance doesn’t just hurt… it can feel heavier than conflict itself.

Just 5 minutes. One meaningful perspective shift. A better, stronger marriage.

Distance in marriage doesn’t usually happen overnight—it’s a slow drift. What once felt close, connected, and full of life can begin to feel quiet, routine, and even lonely. And for many couples, the pain of distance can feel heavier than conflict.

In this episode of The Favorite Marriage Podcast, Monty and Jeannine unpack the real reasons couples grow apart - from unresolved hurt and poor communication to busyness, technology, and the loss of friendship.

More importantly, they share practical, faith-centered ways to reconnect, rebuild emotional closeness, and reignite intimacy in your marriage.

If you’ve ever felt like roommates instead of partners…
If conversations feel surface-level…
If connection has been replaced with distance…

This episode will give you hope, clarity, and simple next steps to move back toward each other.

Because what drifts apart can be intentionally drawn back together.

In this 5-Minute Friday episode, Monty and Jeannine unpack a question every spouse has wrestled with at some point: Why am I so angry? What if the anger you’re feeling—or the anger you’re experiencing from your spouse—isn’t the real issue, but a signal pointing to something deeper?

They explore how anger often reveals hidden hurt—unspoken pain, unmet expectations, and wounds that haven’t fully healed. Instead of simply reacting to the surface emotion, Monty and Jeannine help couples begin to recognize what’s really going on beneath the frustration.

Just 5 minutes. One meaningful perspective shift. A better, stronger marriage.
