191: Your Marriage Isn't Broken, It's Paused feat. Dr Lee Baucom

Relationship Momentum and the Negligence of Routine

Using the analogy of pushing a car, Lee Baucom explains that while starting a relationship takes significant energy, maintaining momentum requires consistent, smaller efforts. He compares relationship maintenance to caring for a plant or a vehicle, noting that leaving things to run their own course inevitably leads to failure. The segment critiques the "fixed mindset" that believes a relationship should just work without effort.
