The Quicksand Season | S3 E4

Every long marriage has a season where one of you is sinking and the other is staring off into the distance, completely oblivious. Today we talk about ours — and how to recognize yours before the unraveling begins.

Mary used to have a recurring nightmare during the hardest years of our marriage. She was sinking in quicksand, reaching for Jerry, and the more she struggled the deeper she went. He just stood there, looking off into the distance. That nightmare was a window into what was actually happening between us — the gradual uncoupling, the gentle tug on the thread of our marriage that, once pulled, was unraveling everything. If your marriage feels like a garden that hasn't been watered in a while, this episode is for you. We share the warning signs we missed and the small daily acts of weeding and watering that pulled us back from the brink.
