Summary
In this episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul chats with marriage expert Lee Baucom to explore why love alone isn't enough to build a lasting relationship—and why connection, not communication, is the true foundation of a successful marriage. Drawing on nearly four decades of marriage and years of helping couples rebuild struggling relationships, Lee explains why so many marriages slowly drift apart without either partner realising it. Together, Paul and Lee unpack the hidden dangers of "hitting the pause button" on your relationship, the three levels of connection every couple must nurture, and the simple daily habits that can transform a marriage before it reaches crisis point. About the Guest Lee Baucom is a marriage coach, author, speaker, and founder of the Save The Marriage System.
