You can talk to your wife every day - and still leave her feeling completely unknown. In Part 2 of **The Marriage Reset™,** Mitchell Osmond reveals why great conversations aren't about saying more…

Here is something that I have learned after years of coaching husbands and men and understanding just how we think and how we're wired.
Most men don't wake up one morning thinking, "You know what? I think I'm gonna stop connecting with my wife." [laughs] That isn't how it happens, right? It happens quietly.
We get promoted, the kids arrive, responsibilities increase, a parent gets sick, the business grows, the mortgage gets bigger, life gets fuller, life gets in the way.
And before we even realize what's happening, our conversations become increasingly focused on running a life instead of sharing one.
You can communicate exceptionally well and still be emotionally disconnected.
You can discuss every appointment on the calendar without ever discussing what's happening inside either one of you, and here's why this matters.
It's how two people continue discovering one another long after the wedding day.
When meaningful conversation disappears, it's usually only a matter of time before emotional distance begins to grow.
And then that emotional distance has a way of affecting everything else, like affection, patience, laughter, friendship, and yes, physical intimacy.
Because healthy marriages aren't built on logistics, they are built on connection.
If you only talk to them maybe five minutes every single day and never actually ask them anything about their life or their emotions or what they're going on, they just basically talked about the to-do list, what would happen to your relationship? It would deteriorate.
You wouldn't know your kid, right? But yet we do the same thing all the time with our wives.
We just talk about logistics, and we barely communicate and wonder why there is an emotional disconnection.
