Marriage can be one of the most rewarding parts of life, but it can also be one of the most challenging—especially when you’re raising a family abroad. The pressures of expat life can strain even the strongest relationships, leaving many couples feeling disconnected, frustrated, and unsure of how to move forward. But what if I told you that the path to a stronger, more connected marriage lies in some counterintuitive truths that most people overlook?
Hi, I’m David Ecklund, and I’m here to invite you to a transformative experience—Relationship Renaissance—a FREE, one-day, intensive online course designed specifically for expat dads who are ready to turn their marriage crisis into a powerful new chapter of love and connection.
Let’s dive into some of these surprising truths that we’ll explore during the course:
Most Conflicts Are Unsolvable—and That’s Okay
Did you know that 2/3 of conflicts in a marriage are unsolvable? That’s right—no matter how hard you try, some differences will always remain. But here’s the good news: these “unsolvable” conflicts don’t have to drive a wedge between you and your wife. In fact, they can become the very thing that strengthens your relationship. We’ll show you how to embrace these conflicts, shift your perspective, and turn them into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.
Guard Her Space Like You Guard Your Assets
Here’s something that might surprise you: shared housework is one of the most important factors in maintaining a happy marriage. For many women, a clean and organized home is as crucial as financial stability is to men. Imagine watching your kids burn $100 bills just for fun—that’s how many women feel about a messy house. The stress it creates can build up over time, impacting her mood, energy, and… yes, even her attraction to you. We’ll discuss how stepping up in this area can reignite her respect, appreciation, and affection for you—without giving up your masculine edge.
Intentional Intimacy
We often romanticize the idea of spontaneous sex as the ultimate expression of passion. But here’s the thing: during courtship, sex was often planned—the dates, the time together, the anticipation. That’s what made it so exciting. Planning is sexy. It shows intentionality, builds anticipation, and ensures that you make time for each other amidst the chaos of life. In Relationship Renaissance, we’ll explore how planned intimacy can bring back that courtship magic and reignite the spark in your marriage.
