Description

Are you feeling distant from your spouse while living under the same roof?
Frustrated about the increasing misunderstandings or tension in your marriage?
Do you have a longing desire to feel heard & understood but can’t seem to get through to your spouse?
Wish you spent more time connecting with your spouse instead of engaging in arguments that drain your energy?

If you can relate, you’re not alone.

Building a thriving marriage in these modern times takes hard work. When you add the responsibilities and demands of a growing career, family life, and the other stressors & unexpected challenges that sometimes show up, it can seem almost impossible…but it doesn’t have to be!

Hi, we are David and Ebun, son and daughter of the King, a married couple who are still best friends, and parents of three. After being married for over a decade —while also navigating 3 major family relocations, job losses, financial challenges & major health challenges along the way— we know first-hand some of the challenges couples face in our modern world.

We know what it’s like to feel disconnected as a couple while juggling the demands of work, life, and parenthood because we’ve been there. We also know what it feels like to become more intentional in our marriage and achieve a deeper level of connection & intimacy in a long-term marital relationship.

Yet, through it all, we’ve not only grown stronger as a couple but also as individuals. How did we get here? Get ready to find out because we can’t wait to share what we’ve learned, unlearned, relearned, and continue to learn on this journey.

Welcome to the Reconnected Marriage Partners Podcast!

In this podcast, you will find practical strategies to help you improve communication with your spouse, express your needs clearly, resolve conflicts without fighting, and manage disagreements in more productive ways so you can deepen your connection & understanding of each other, work smarter as a team and feel valued in your relationship. You’ll discover actionable tips & simple systems to help you spend more quality time together while living in a busy & distracted world so you can continue to strengthen your bond, increase intimacy, and stay connected over the years. You will also find life-changing biblical encouragement & inspiration on how to live more intentionally and rise up courageously in your life & marriage while keeping God at the Center.

If you’re tired of growing apart and ready to grow closer as a couple while experiencing more peace, harmony & unity in your home, then you’ve come to the right place! We invite you to join us on this journey, get ready to be inspired and gain valuable marital tips along the way as you take the next courageous step in building the stronger marriage you truly desire!
