Reconnected: Moving from Roommates to Soulmates in Marriage

Are You Married to Your Roommate . . . or Your Lover?

Whether you’ve been married for six years or six decades, you may wake up one day to discover that the person sleeping next to you has become a stranger. Between work, kids, financial woes, and the busyness of everyday living, your marriage may feel like it’s on life support. You and your spouse love each other, but you’re both barely hanging on. How do you find your way back? How do you reconnect with your spouse and capture all that marriage is intended to be?

Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley understand. Despite being hailed as marriage experts, they found themselves living more like roommates than lovers. Through intentional work, they fought their way back, and you can too.

In Reconnected, they’ll walk alongside you and your spouse as you learn to reconnect by:

• Sharing life-giving communication
• Dreaming together about your future
• Rekindling romance and passion
• Embracing your individuality while coming together as a couple
• Transforming your life from one of busyness to one of connection

Take your marriage from surviving to thriving. Reconnect with your first love.
