E270: The 5 Silent Relationship Killers That Turn Partners Into Roommates

We ran a poll and 67% of couples told us they feel more like roommates than partners.

This week we're walking through our D.R.I.F.T. Framework: the 5 silent relationship killers that chip away at intimacy, plus the small shifts that bring you back to each other.

💛 In this episode, you'll hear:

The full D.R.I.F.T. Framework and why that 67% roommate stat lands so hard for so many couples

📱 How the average person's 144 daily phone checks can turn date night into two people scrolling side by side

🔁 When "who's grabbing the kids?" takes over and the deeper conversations start to disappear

😐 Why the absence of conflict isn't the same as closeness

🙏 The gratitude gap that lets resentment move in, and why appreciation is one of the biggest predictors of a happy marriage

🤝 How the "bristle reaction" kills everyday affection, and the 10-second reset that brings it back

These might feel like small things, but over time they add up to real distance. The good news: once you can name them, you can start to shift them, together.
