Why Mediocre Relationships Don’t Work | Honest Talk with Matt and Sheri Salis
Many couples don’t even notice when their relationship starts slipping into routine and mediocrity, until the spark feels completely gone. In this conversation with Matt and Sheri Salis, we uncover the subtle ways partners drift apart, how comfort can quietly turn into disconnection, and why ignoring the small warning signs can put intimacy and passion at risk. You’ll learn what patterns to watch for, why “settling” can feel safe but damaging, and most importantly, how to rekindle excitement, curiosity, and closeness before it’s too late. Whether you’ve been together for years or are simply committed to keeping your relationship strong, this video will inspire you to break free from autopilot and build a deeper, more intentional love with your partner.
