Latest / Libido Lounge / How One Person Can Fix a Dead Marriage with Dr. Lee Baucom
Transcript
- 0:00What I see is people hitting the pause button, not consciously, but kind of subconsciously
- 0:05hitting the pause button.
- 0:06Pause button starts to mark a decline because the disconnection is in their connection,
- 0:13obviously.
- 0:14And thinking that they've had a conversation about their day and all they've done is
- 0:18reported their day.
- 0:19Can one person do something?
- 0:20And that that's often what people come to me and say, how do you think that one person can
- 0:25do that?
- 0:26Because it takes two to tango.
- 0:28You're already tangoing.
- 0:30It it may not be going well but you're already in the dance.
- 0:34A big mistake I see is
- 0:38Hey everybody.
- 0:39Welcome back to another episode of the Libido Lounge.
- 0:42I'm your host doctor Diane Mueller, board certified sexologist, and I'm so excited about
- 0:48our guest today.
- 0:49As you heard in the intro, we are talking today about things like you do not need your spouse
- 0:55on board initially to save your marriage.
- 0:58We're gonna talk about how to save your marriage, how to unpause your your pause or
- 1:03whatever you're doing that is actually that roadblock to improving and getting back on the
- 1:09same team, and so much more.
- 1:11And I also think the best time to work on saving your marriage, as I imagine our guest
- 1:17does as well, is before the problems even start.
- 1:20So we're gonna talk about that too, about how to save your marriage before you even realize
- 1:24it needs saving.
- 1:25So to help me, we have Marriage Coach, as you heard, Doctor.
- 1:28Lee Balcombe, and welcome to the show, Lee.
- 1:31It's Hello, Diane.
- 1:32Thanks for thanks for having me.
- 1:33I'm excited to be here.
- 1:35Same.
- 1:35Same.
- 1:36So let's look at this, like, initially as because I do think we have a couple different
- 1:41categories, and I know in some of your content, it it appears that you do as well.
- 1:46We have, like, the people that there's not really a known problem, the people that they
- 1:51both know they have a problem, and probably a third category of like one person thinks they
- 1:56have a problem and another person thinks they're fine.
- 2:00Would you say that's correct in what you see?
- 2:02I think that's a pretty good yes, that's a pretty good description of topography we're
- 2:07dealing with here.
- 2:07Okay.
- 2:09So let's deal with this, like, and have a conversation, like, you know, one at a time.
- 2:13So for the couple, that I think is probably the most common thing that happens is, I guess, I
- 2:19don't know, you tell me, what is more common that you see?
- 2:22Do you see more people in a scenario that are having problems?
- 2:26Is it more common that both people are like, yeah, we have a problem, or is it more common
- 2:31that one person's like, we have a problem, and the other person thinks, oh, we're fine?
- 2:35What what tends to come up more frequently?
- 2:37Well, there's the other category of we have a problem and the other person going, I'm not
- 2:41gonna deal with it.
- 2:42You know, they know there's a problem too that I'm not gonna deal with it as opposed to I
- 2:45don't even see there's a problem.
- 2:46So there Right.
- 2:48There are a couple of shades in there.
- 2:49But, generally, when people, find themselves in a crisis, sometimes the other has already has
- 2:56already kinda gotten past that.
- 2:57Like, they knew there was a crisis.
- 2:58They just didn't talk about it, or they quit talking about it and kind of moved on.
- 3:04And then there are those who find themselves in the midst of a crisis and the spouse going, oh,
- 3:08we'll get past this.
- 3:09We're it's just a phase.
- 3:10Right?
- 3:11The the reality that I see is with the starting point, and and I think that's an important
- 3:17piece.
- 3:19What I see is people hitting the pause button, not consciously, but kinda subconsciously
- 3:24hitting the pause button.
- 3:26And what I mean by that is they spend this all this time finding each other, falling in love,
- 3:32building their relationship, deciding they want to be together for life.
- 3:35They get married, or a committed relationship if if they're not married.
- 3:40And they, then say, okay.
- 3:42All that energy we put into building the marriage or building the relationship, we now
- 3:47need to go conquer the rest of the world, like, have kids or, you know, build my career or or
- 3:54our career or friends or travel or aging parents, whatever it is or something.
- 3:59And they go, but it's okay because we've got this.
- 4:02You know?
- 4:02We've nailed this down, so we'll come back to this.
- 4:05And that's when they hit the pause button.
- 4:07And for me, that's the beginning point of the crisis.
- 4:11They just didn't they don't know that.
- 4:13The momentum carries them through.
- 4:15That's just the place that it starts.
- 4:18So the pause button in some ways is also like the autopilot button.
- 4:21Right?
- 4:22It's like, we don't we can just put this on autopilot.
- 4:24We don't have to, like, put effort into that.
- 4:27Is that kinda what we're saying by the pause button?
- 4:29Yeah.
- 4:30I I tend to think that autopilot assumes that they're actually it does like, if at least as
- 4:36I've seen it, autopilots actually get you somewhere.
- 4:39Okay.
- 4:40I
- 4:40see the
- 4:40difference.
- 4:41Right?
- 4:41And the pause button starts to mark a decline because the disconnection is in their
- 4:47connection, obviously, and and they're creating distance without knowing it.
- 4:52And what I watch is that the when will come back to us is always future.
- 4:58Like, my career gets to here, and then I'm gonna get it to here, and then I'm gonna get it
- 5:03here.
- 5:03The kids, when they get into diapers, and then when they get out of diapers, and then when I
- 5:07get know, on and on it goes.
- 5:10And the the problem is that you're establishing the habits of disconnection after all of those
- 5:16habits of connection.
- 5:17The the difference with the autopilot thing is those habits of connection, it sounds like, you
- 5:23know, and those people pretend like those continue.
- 5:26And in reality, they stop doing that relating, and they start getting to this disconnection.
- 5:34Yep.
- 5:34That that makes good sense.
- 5:36And and I'm wondering, like, do you feel like this happens, like, pause button in many ways,
- 5:41like, to couples, like like, almost on, like, a subconscious driver, I would say?
- 5:48Like, do you think, like, left to our own devices, it's almost, like, surely going to
- 5:53happen?
- 5:54Because I think what you're saying here around, like, oh, like I look at it as like moving the
- 5:57goalpost.
- 5:58Right?
- 5:58Like, oh, we have this goal, and then what we do as humans, because anybody that like just
- 6:03like likes achievement, which is most humans on some core level, like some level of that, So we
- 6:09achieve something and then we just move the goalpost and it's like you're saying, it's kids
- 6:13and we'll work on that at this stage of the career, whatever.
- 6:15So is this something that do you feel like most people are just destined to pause unless
- 6:21something is done to intervene?
- 6:24Because they don't know the effect of that, yes.
- 6:27That is very common.
- 6:30And so there are some relationships that just kind of continue on in the disconnection, and
- 6:36they manage to think that they are connected.
- 6:39So, you know, we we talk about the those habits of relating, habits of connection.
- 6:45And I watch people think they're doing that.
- 6:47For instance, at the end of the day coming in and saying, hey.
- 6:50How was your day?
- 6:51And the person going, oh, I had this meeting and this meeting and, you know, this report or
- 6:55whatever.
- 6:56And thinking that they've had a conversation about their day, and all I've done is reported
- 7:01their day.
- 7:02Right?
- 7:02And so this connection is about building their rapport, and then couples fall into their
- 7:09report about what the kids did, about what the day held, and they stop connecting in any ways.
- 7:15They just they don't see it because they're going through the actions.
- 7:20They they feel like they've had a conversation even though that conversation really had
- 7:24nothing but a report in it.
- 7:26Yeah.
- 7:27Yep.
- 7:27So we start instead of connecting on an emotional soul level, we connect on, like,
- 7:32highly level, like, highly logistical level is really what we're doing there.
- 7:36Yes.
- 7:36So so since is this, we have this group, right, where it's like one couple is in it, and
- 7:43another couple, you know, another part part of the partnership, the other person, I should say
- 7:47one couple, one person in the couple is in it, and one person in the couple realizes there's a
- 7:52problem and wants to work at it, and then the other person either doesn't realize they're a
- 7:58problem or they're kind of in this other subsect that you talked about around, they
- 8:02recognize they're a problem, they're a problem, but they just don't want to do anything about
- 8:05it.
- 8:05So we have either way where it's like one couple's like, yes, let's work on it.
- 8:09The other person's like, no, let's not.
- 8:12Where do we start?
- 8:14Yeah.
- 8:14What you're pointing out is a very common theme that couples don't start at the same point in
- 8:20this journey, right?
- 8:21And so that raises the question, can one person do something?
- 8:25And that's often what people come to me and say, how do you think that one person can do
- 8:30that?
- 8:31Because it takes two to tango.
- 8:33That's what they give me.
- 8:35And my response is you're already tangoing.
- 8:38It it it may not be going well, but you're already in the dance.
- 8:42So I think of a marriage as a system.
- 8:44And and so now we get into how how does that happen.
- 8:48If a marriage is a system between two people, the interactions between them, if one person
- 8:53changes a piece, so if you decide in the tango to change your dance steps, the spouse is
- 9:00likely to shift how they do it too.
- 9:03Not always, but likely to make a shift because you're changing one piece of that.
- 9:08Now the problem is that system has gotten stretched apart.
- 9:11And so depending on how far apart that stretch has happened, there there are times and and so
- 9:18since I'm the save the marriage guy, people often say, so you think every marriage can be
- 9:23saved?
- 9:23And I don't.
- 9:24I just know there's only one way to find out whether a marriage can be revived, and that is
- 9:29by the effort of trying to revive it.
- 9:31You can't decide on the front side.
- 9:34And so when you one person makes some shifts, it often creates a shift on the other side for
- 9:40a core reason that most people underestimate.
- 9:44Humans are connectors by nature.
- 9:46I mean, we have these deep levels of connection that go beyond probably any other creature.
- 9:52I mean, that is why it takes us eighteen ish years to launch a child into the world because
- 9:59they're learning everything by connection, by that attachment, by that connection as they
- 10:04grow up.
- 10:05And because of that deep need for us, we are trying to find that in our lives.
- 10:12And so if it's not happening in the marriage, it often is found somewhere else, whether it's
- 10:18being over involved with kids or over involved with work or over involved with hobbies and
- 10:23friends or somebody else out of the marriage.
- 10:25There is that place where people are trying to get that connection.
- 10:28But if it comes back to where they wanted it, it eases the pain that's caused by not having
- 10:34that.
- 10:35There's a lot of research on what happens when humans feel disconnected by somebody that is
- 10:40important to them, and it registers in the same pain center in their brain that physical pain
- 10:45does.
- 10:46So bang my thumb or have a disconnection, same place in the brain is lit up by that and
- 10:51they're trying to find a way to mitigate that, to lessen the pain.
- 10:56If suddenly there is connection there, it's easy to be drawn back into that, which is why
- 11:02one person's actions can often make a difference in in what happens from there.
- 11:08So it sounds like, like, would this be a true statement based upon what you're saying is it
- 11:13doesn't take two to tango to start to revive the marriage, but it does take two to tango to
- 11:20finish reviving the marriage.
- 11:21Would you say that's true?
- 11:24Yeah.
- 11:24So, to to hold on to that tango piece, they're gonna be tango ing.
- 11:28At some point, one may say, yep.
- 11:30No.
- 11:30I'm gonna take my dance somewhere else.
- 11:32But, yeah, they're already doing the tango.
- 11:33So if one person changes their steps, the other person can come back into the process.
- 11:39Ultimately, one person cannot finish saving a marriage.
- 11:43It it takes both people to say, this is something we want.
- 11:47But if we go from the, hey.
- 11:49This is something we need to work on on one hand, and the other person going, what do you
- 11:52mean?
- 11:52What's wrong?
- 11:53It's just a phase.
- 11:55And they're still disconnected, and then suddenly there's some connection.
- 11:58They begin to be drawn back in.
- 12:00And I've watched it where one person was intentional about it.
- 12:04The other person never recognized that there was anything going on, and they come back into
- 12:09the relationship.
- 12:10And and the relationship grows warm again, and there's love there again and warmth there
- 12:15because one person was able to start on a low key side of recreating the connection until the
- 12:22other person is naturally responding.
- 12:25That's not the beginning point.
- 12:28That's on into the process, though.
- 12:31So it sounds like if one person is changing their dance steps, if we're using the analogy,
- 12:36then we're looking then what will make a difference is that other person starts changing
- 12:41as well.
- 12:42So then my question is how much of those like dance steps, right, how much of that initial
- 12:47change from that first person who's saying, okay, well this is great news, you know, I can
- 12:53actually do something if my partner's not there, which I think is a huge load off for
- 12:58people because it can feel very, like a feeling being trapped if you, like, if one person wants
- 13:04to work on it and the other person is not going along with it.
- 13:09So how does, like, that how do you, like, guide that one person?
- 13:13Like, meaning, are those initial steps of change, are they purely, like, almost, like,
- 13:19internal as far as the change?
- 13:21Are they it's, a lot of internal work and internal shifts?
- 13:25Or are you actually working with that individual to do things that are also more
- 13:29externally facing as well?
- 13:32I wanted to take a quick break from our podcast to say, did you know that arousal and desire
- 13:37are different for women and men?
- 13:40Many women think they are no longer interested in sex, for example, because they are waiting
- 13:46for their brain to think about having sex when they need to get into their body first.
- 13:52So often, we think we are sexually incompatible or there's desire discrepancy simply because we
- 13:59do not know the differences in how men's and women's brains are programmed around sex and
- 14:06how to work them to our advantage.
- 14:08In addition, communication breakdown, busyness, habits, routines, boredom, lack of novelty, and
- 14:15so many things drive people to have passion less or less passionate long term relationships
- 14:24than they used to have.
- 14:26This is fixed And I show you how to do all of this and more in my hot monogamy society.
- 14:34You can find links in the show notes below.
- 14:37I hope you will join me to discover and explore how to bring passion back.
- 14:43And you can do this as a couple, but know that even if it is just one of you that is
- 14:49interested in joining us, there's so much magic that can happen, so much change and improvement
- 14:56by one person taking the initiative to bring passion back into the relationship.
- 15:02Now, let's get back to our episode.
- 15:05Actually, it happens both.
- 15:06So Yeah.
- 15:07I talk about the there are these three c's of of the approach that I I talk about.
- 15:13It's connecting, connecting with the spouse, changing, changing yourself.
- 15:16So that's the internal part of and and that's not for me to be saying there's something wrong
- 15:21with you as much as most people hit a point in life when they realize that they've become
- 15:26stagnant.
- 15:27And this process is one of going I I've gotta step back into this, and I've gotta show up
- 15:31better in the relationship, be more intentional in the relationship, and maybe find some energy
- 15:37in my life itself.
- 15:38Right?
- 15:38Because that stagnation is often where both people just have grown stagnant and the
- 15:43relationship is stuck.
- 15:44So one person begins to move forward.
- 15:47And then the other c is creating.
- 15:48So I also have a a belief that marriages that really work, they have created a we.
- 15:55Like, we're in this together.
- 15:56Not they lose their individual, but that they see themselves as being also an entity separate
- 16:03from that.
- 16:03Right?
- 16:04Like a team.
- 16:04We're on in a team.
- 16:06And and if you are a good team, both people are trying to show up best to be on that team.
- 16:11Right?
- 16:12So that's so it's not a we're just a a blob here, but it's a two people forming this entity
- 16:19where we see it as us together, and it rolls out in many ways in important things like
- 16:26money.
- 16:27That's a big one.
- 16:28Couples come in fighting about money, and they think their problem is money.
- 16:31Their problem is the disconnection that led to them seeing the money as separate.
- 16:37What's mine?
- 16:37What's yours?
- 16:38Rather than what's our resource.
- 16:41In reality, in a house, there's resources coming in, resources going out.
- 16:45That's it.
- 16:46How it's subdivided is a mental picture.
- 16:49Now I'm not talking about how you account for the accounts or whatever, checking accounts, or
- 16:54that's not it as much as the mindset of is this our resource, or do we hold on to pieces of
- 17:00that?
- 17:00That's for instance.
- 17:01It can be also around kids or religion and politics would be another area.
- 17:07In laws and sex is another big place where we see whether it it feels like a we're in this
- 17:12together piece.
- 17:14Are there questions you ask people?
- 17:17Like, is there a common kind of place you take people to determine if they're in it together,
- 17:22or is this something that is kind of just like it's very obvious of people?
- 17:26Like, do people come in knowing that, I guess, is my question, or is that kind of a shock to
- 17:30them more commonly around like, wow.
- 17:32I guess we're not on the same team?
- 17:34People rarely recognize that coming in.
- 17:37In fact, they come in with the symptom, this is our problem, we don't agree on this and we've
- 17:41got a problem around that, and that's a symptom of the fact that they're not functioning as a
- 17:45we.
- 17:46And so it's clear to me.
- 17:50It becomes clear to a couple when they have this idea of building a we.
- 17:54So when I have the conversation, let's go back to the common of one person coming in.
- 18:00When they first start recognizing they haven't been functioning as a team, that is helpful in
- 18:05itself.
- 18:05Just to go, okay.
- 18:06How can I be more of a team?
- 18:08And when you're a part of a team, even if the other person is maybe not participating as well
- 18:13as you would like, you still continue to play for the end result.
- 18:17We're gonna keep trying to win.
- 18:19And so that that piece on one person can begin to solve some of the problems.
- 18:24So struggles around certain issues, they might be able to identify.
- 18:29For instance, when they're struggling over money, just to return to that, and they see it
- 18:34as they go, oh, it is our resource.
- 18:37It's our thing.
- 18:39When the spouse starts kinda pushing, you know, to you versus me to be able to say, hey.
- 18:44You know, this is our thing to figure out how we're gonna do this together, changes how
- 18:49conversations happen.
- 18:51Instead of it being more and more apart, it begins to be a common conversation.
- 18:56So that's how, for instance, one person can begin to shape how they work together as a
- 19:02team.
- 19:03One of the things I see many times is when somebody wants to start, it's like they wanna
- 19:09jump all the way back to connection.
- 19:12Like, where they were when they hit the pause button, they wanna go all the way back to that.
- 19:18And it and the the connection bridge can't hold that.
- 19:21It's not sturdy enough.
- 19:22And so they have to start at a lower level and begin to build the pieces.
- 19:27Can I ask you a question that I think will correlate very well with what you just said
- 19:32around like what do a lot of marriage therapists do wrong or what do couples do wrong
- 19:36in the beginning?
- 19:37But before you answer, I wanna make sure that everybody knows about one of my favorite tools
- 19:43for a marriage when sex has started to fall and when it's not part of it anymore, which is
- 19:49usually for a lot of different reasons, but a huge one can be a level of erectile
- 19:53dysfunction, which is going to affect almost every man if he lives long enough, and a level
- 19:59for a female of also a lack of circulation to her genitals, which can lead to things like
- 20:05pain and numbness.
- 20:06So one of my favorite things are the pump systems, and I love these pumps by Doctor.
- 20:12Joel Kaplan, and I like his pumps because a lot of them on the market, they have a suction on
- 20:17the bottom and the system will actually cause long term lowering of the blood to the genitals
- 20:24versus these pumps are fitted exactly for you so you don't only get the short term benefits
- 20:30of blood flow and improving erections and improving vaginal numbness or dryness, but you
- 20:36also get the long term effects of actually reversing these things.
- 20:40So you can find out more about this company and get discounts and coupon codes in the show
- 20:45notes, so please look for that.
- 20:48But then to continue on, so from this standpoint, what do you feel like, like is
- 20:52there a common thing you see where therapists will kinda go wrong, like a common mistake
- 20:58people have like from a leading perspective as a counselor?
- 21:02Or are there common mistakes that when couples come into counseling that they do wrong
- 21:08oftentimes early in the beginning?
- 21:10Do you see any common themes there?
- 21:12Yes.
- 21:13So, listen, I can name three that I see in that arena.
- 21:17The first one is a therapist who is not trained as a couples therapist but sees couples treated
- 21:25as two clients in their office rather than the relationship being their client.
- 21:30And that makes it very difficult to have conversations about how do you move forward
- 21:34because if one person's like, yeah, don't see any hope, that therapist is gonna go, which how
- 21:39am I gonna deal with this?
- 21:40I've got one who sees hope, one who doesn't, and they often default to the there's no hope.
- 21:44And so I often see people say, you know, we were one or two sessions in.
- 21:49My spouse said I don't see any hope, and the therapist was like, well, how do we wrap this
- 21:53up so that you can leave separately?
- 21:55So the orientation question is a big one.
- 21:58The second one that is kind of between the couples coming in and the therapist is that we
- 22:05have somehow gotten to the point of believing that communication is the problem rather than a
- 22:10symptom of the problem.
- 22:12I know this because when I was still seeing people as a therapist, I I I did it in a much
- 22:17more coaching approach all along, but they would come in and say, you need to give us
- 22:22communication skills.
- 22:23Teach us communication.
- 22:24So I'll just sit there and listen to them for twenty, twenty five, thirty minutes and say,
- 22:27you know what's interesting about this?
- 22:29I've understood every word you said.
- 22:31You've understood every word you said.
- 22:33You communicated just fine.
- 22:35It's not a communication issue.
- 22:38That's what you think it is.
- 22:39But communication is just a way of delivering something, information, and it's kinda like
- 22:45pipes.
- 22:46So if you got them hooked up right, that's great.
- 22:48But if you got them hooked up wrong, you're you're communicating the wrong thing.
- 22:52And so I would often say if I teach you better communication skills, I'm just making you more
- 22:56efficient in fighting.
- 22:58That's not where we wanna get to.
- 23:00The real question is is the are you communicating connection or disconnection?
- 23:05Are you functioning in the connection world or the disc disconnection world?
- 23:09So seeing it as a communication problem has been something that both clients bring in and
- 23:15therapists default to.
- 23:17Now on to the clients.
- 23:19The big mistake I see is dragging a spouse into therapy who doesn't want to work on it and
- 23:26perhaps doesn't even see a problem at that point.
- 23:29What that often leads to is a much more resistant spouse, not one who's willing to work
- 23:35on things, but becomes much more resistant to the process.
- 23:39And one way of showing resistance is to dig down deep and prove why things can't move
- 23:44forward.
- 23:45And so not only do they block the process, but they convince themselves that the process is
- 23:51even worse than they had had imagined, and the problem in their marriage is even worse than
- 23:55they imagined, which therefore then plays out with that whole therapist approach that I
- 24:00talked about in the beginning.
- 24:02Amazing.
- 24:03Yeah.
- 24:03That's a really, really good and thorough definition of all of that.
- 24:08I really appreciate the orientation of the communication too around, hey, you're talking
- 24:13fine.
- 24:14Right?
- 24:14Like, hear your words.
- 24:15I understand what they mean, but are we talking from a standpoint of disconnect or connect?
- 24:20And we're gonna talk about that more in part two, you guys.
- 24:23We're gonna talk about from Lee's perspective what he has seen around how we can fix things
- 24:29early on before they actually lead to problems where we would be even considering things like
- 24:35separation or divorce.
- 24:37So all of that is gonna be in part two.
- 24:39You'll find that in the show notes.
- 24:40But before we get into part two, Lee, can you just tell us about a couple of the ways that
- 24:45you work with people, what they how you work with them in the unpause your marriage or the
- 24:50save your marriage model and a little bit about how how we get ahold of you.
- 24:54I'll put all the links for your stuff in the show notes as well.
- 24:56Yeah.
- 24:57So I just wanna imagine you're you're on a boat.
- 24:59Right?
- 24:59You're heading down the river, and you're thinking you're on this nice little journey,
- 25:01and then you start hearing way off in the distance.
- 25:05You start hearing the waterfall, and you're like, yeah.
- 25:07We don't wanna go over that waterfall.
- 25:09So if it's far enough away, like, you realize that it's chronic, it's off in the distance,
- 25:13and you're in that chronic disconnection, I've created an app to help people to get out of
- 25:19that pause button marriage, and that is at unpauseyourmarriage.com.
- 25:24What I like about an app is it reminds you.
- 25:26Right?
- 25:27You get in the habits of disconnection, and it actually reminds you twice a day on how to do
- 25:32the daily exercises.
- 25:34There's there's daily exercises.
- 25:35There are trainings.
- 25:36There's some assessments in there for for people to figure out where they are.
- 25:40But the big thing is we're rebuilding the habits of connection.
- 25:44So if you hear the waterfall off in the distance, it's time to turn around and go the
- 25:49other way.
- 25:50That's at unpauseyourmarriage.com.
- 25:52Now if you're on downstream and you hear the crashes of the waterfall and you know that
- 25:58you're closer than you wanna be and you actually need to take action, not just a little
- 26:04action, but crisis action, that's at saveyour savethemarriage.com because you wanna save your
- 26:09marriage.
- 26:09So savethemarriage.com is a program to walk you through how, even if you're the only one
- 26:15working on it, you can revive the relationship.
- 26:18Amazing.
- 26:19And then you still work with clients one on one as well, right, in your work?
- 26:22I do.
- 26:23I do.
- 26:23I do.
- 26:24And I have a team of coaches who also work with me to use those approaches to help people.
- 26:28And then do people find that work at those links as well?
- 26:32Yes.
- 26:33Savethemarriage.com has links to my books, to the podcast, and also how you can get coaching
- 26:39there.
- 26:39Okay.
- 26:40Beautiful.
- 26:40So, yes, everybody, we will have that in the show notes as well as how to get part two of
- 26:44this episode where, again, we're gonna talk about how to communicate, how to communicate in
- 26:49a way where you're creating more of that connection versus the disconnection, like Lee
- 26:53mentioned, and really how to recognize and start working on these things before you get to
- 26:59the point where now it's in a the relationship is in a more serious type of place.
- 27:05So all of that to come in part two.
