What often begins as a minor disagreement, an unforgiven issue, or an unmet need in a marriage can quickly escalate from one tiny flame of disconnection to an engulfing fire that will burn our houses down. It's the little things--the things left unchecked--that destroy what we most value.

Do you ever find that you and your spouse feel more like roommates than soulmates? Juggling jobs, kids, hobbies, and modern distractions can cause husbands and wives to grow distant and face unsettling questions: Why don't we have fun together anymore? What happened to our connection? Why don't I feel happy with my spouse? Is this really what God intends for marriage?

One day, Lindsey Maestas uttered a word she never thought she would: "divorce." Her marriage felt disconnected, and she watched many marriages around her crumble due to affairs, financial strain, and unhealthy habits. She felt hopeless, frustrated, and afraid. However, through vulnerable communication and a decade of research, Lindsey has found the tools to address the crisis of complacency and disconnection in modern marriages and inspire meaningful change. With a biblical foundation, Lindsey discovered how spouses can truly reconnect and thrive--while putting out those fires along the way.

In this step-by-step guide, you will learn how to:

  • Release your spouse from being your sole source of fulfillment
  • Balance emotional labor and responsibilities in your home
  • Communicate about and explore sex and intimacy as a couple without shame or discomfort
  • Create new habits and disciplines that help you support one another
  • Discover the thrill of playing together, creating a marriage of fun and spontaneity
  • Fortify your marriage against porn, lust, and temptations
  • Surrender your need for control and prioritize God's promises in your marriage
  • Let go of entitlement and pride and embrace vulnerability and humility

Read this book to move from complacent disconnection to intentional reconnection in your marriage. You no longer have to live like strangers or roommates, so let's take the steps to prevent you from burning your own house down.
