It is such a common demand from a spouse during a marital crisis:  “I need space!  You just need to give me space!”



Yet here I am, telling you to connect with your spouse, to rebuild the broken connection that led to the crisis.



Are they opposites?



One listener to the Save The Marriage Podcast was wondering.  Which means that others might be wondering the same thing.



Here is the problem:  When your marriage is in crisis and a spouse asks for space, if you can’t give it, your spouse will demand MORE space.  And if that is not given, your spouse will force even MORE space.  Each step causes deeper disconnection and a deeper crisis.



And yet, you know you need to fix the disconnection in order to heal the crisis.  It just seems that connecting and giving space are opposite ends.  But that is mainly because of the way you are trying to connect.  You can accidentally be crowding, not connecting.



Listen in to discover the truth about “space” and how to connect without crowding.
