331: I Was Terrified He Wouldn't Love the Real Me

Stephanie married the man who felt like her adventure soulmate, and their life was filled with camping, fishing, and carefree fun. But when infertility hit, everything changed. Stephanie was heartbroken, and she kept most of that pain to herself. Because deep down she was terrified that if her husband saw how much she was struggling, he might not love what he saw. Over time, the distance in Stephanie's relationship grew. After twins, sleepless nights, and years of resentment, their marriage turned icy. Then one night, he said the words that shattered her: he loved her, but wasn't in love with her. Stephanie tried everything to win him back… Cooking more, doing more, trying harder. But the harder she tried, the worse things got. Until one tiny experiment changed the dance. Today, the friendship is back. The laughter is back. The passion is back. Their marriage feels playful and magnetic—and they're living their dream adventure in Costa Rica as a family. If your marriage feels distant and you don't feel like you can be yourself anymore, Stephanie's story will give you hope—and something new to try right away!
