I am currently writing a seven month blog series about the Emotional Systems of Marriage. Last month was SEEKING. This month's blog is CARE.

Most couples don’t lose connection because of one big moment—they drift when curiosity quietly fades.

I’m starting a new blog series exploring something that sits underneath how we relate to each other: the emotional systems that shape how we connect, argue, disengage, and grow. Each month, I’ll take one of these systems and translate it into something practical you can actually use in your relationship.

This month’s focus is SEEKING—the part of your brain that drives curiosity, interest, and the desire to understand your partner. When it’s active, you lean in. When it shuts down, it’s easy to assume you already know everything—and that’s where disconnection starts.

Along with the blog, I’ve included a simple “Would You Rather” game designed to spark conversation and help you explore each other again in a low-pressure way.

Christian men, please read and consider what is being said here. We need to do better.

“Do men desperately need respect, while women desperately need love?” This was the question posed by Sheila Gregoire on a recent episode of the “Bare Marriage” podcast. “That is the thesis of a lot of bestselling books in evangelicalism like Love and Respect; For Women Only; His Needs, Her...
