In this episode of Marriage IQ, we tackle one of the biggest threats to connection in modern relationships: busyness. We’re joined by Dr. Mark Ogletree, a seasoned marriage and family therapist, and his wife Janie, to unpack why so many couples feel more like roommates than partners—and what to do about it.

From long work hours and kids’ packed schedules to the constant pull of phones and screens, many marriages are quietly starving for time and attention. The Ogletrees share powerful insights and practical tools to help you break the cycle, reclaim time for each other, and reconnect—without needing to overhaul your life.

Whether you're feeling the distance or just want to protect what you have, this episode will help you move from surviving to intentionally thriving in your relationship.
