Years ago, I was sitting in the back of a packed room. I’d brought in a psychologist to teach my clients about vibrant relationships, never imagining how it would impact my own. I was just dating my now-husband, but what the speaker said that day became a cornerstone of our marriage.
The Trap
Most couples spend their time talking logistics—money, work, kids, travel. Sound familiar? The psychologist shared a rule: for 30 minutes a day, don’t talk about those five things. At first, we tried it—and we had nothing to say. We stared at each other. But then… the real conversation started. We talked about our dreams, our “why,” what makes us tick.
The Fix
Now, every morning, my husband and I have coffee together. No talk of money. No work updates. No kid logistics. Just us. It’s become our sacred time—30 minutes of uninterrupted connection. You can start too. Choose a time. Set the rule. Stick to it. Let the silence speak first, then see what follows. I promise: the deeper stuff is waiting.
Your Challenge
Try it. Just once. 30 minutes. No distractions. No logistics. See what surfaces.
A better relationship might be one conversation away.
