How to Reconcile After a Long Marital Separation

How to Reconcile After a Long Marital Separation

Long separations can feel stable, but that stability can also keep a marriage stuck. Common reactions like waiting indefinitely, pursuing harder, or offering connection without boundaries often make reconciliation less likely. In this episode, Coach Jack explains how to recognize when a separation has plateaued and what can create real movement instead.
