Feeling disconnected in your relationship isn’t a mystery, it’s a signal. In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman to uncover the missing skills every couple needs but most were never taught. Together, they break down why love alone isn’t enough, how stress silently spills over into your kids, and the exact tools that stop resentment before it takes root.
You’ll discover the 3 C’s of marriage satisfaction, how daily “love deposits” build connection, and why mutual care is the hidden key to a thriving home. From boundaries that protect your relationship to rituals that repair conflict, this is the modern marriage playbook.
Dr. Taz and The Freemans discuss:
Topics Covered:
Marriage satisfaction defined in plain language
Emotional health as a family ecosystem
Practical repair, apology, and accountability tools
Mental load, compliance traps, and healthy assertiveness
Parenting while partnering, keeping business out of date night
