    #1 Reason Why Most Relationships Struggle | Dr. Joshua Coleman

    Why do so many relationships fall apart just when they should be getting stronger? Why does love feel so hard after kids or when the same conflicts keep repeating? In this episode, Dr. Joshua Coleman— renowned psychologist, best-selling author, and one of the leading experts on marriage, parenting, and family estrangement— shares what truly makes or breaks long-term love. You’ll learn why happiness often dips after children, the three stages every couple goes through, and why so many give up right before reaching deeper connection. Dr. Coleman also explains why estrangement is rising in families and what it takes to rebuild trust. By the end, you’ll know how to tell the difference between a rough patch and the wrong match— and walk away with practical tools to resolve conflict, rebuild intimacy, and nurture love that actually lasts.
