Hey friend! If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of miscommunication with your spouse—same arguments, same frustration, same emotional distance—you are not alone. Today’s episode is just for you.

Today, our featured guest is Greg Cooney, a certified NICC® therapist and one of our incredible counselors at MyCounselor.Online, to talk all about how to build better communication in your marriage. Greg recently wrote an article on this very topic, and today Josh is sitting down with him to dive deeper.

In this episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast, Josh & Greg are diving into:

Common ways communication breaks down in marriage
What it actually looks like to schedule intentional conversations (and why it works)
The truth about active listening (Hint: It’s more than just nodding along)
Practical tools to build clarity, connection, and trust in your daily communication
Why it’s never too late to break old patterns and create new ones

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation with your spouse thinking, “We’re just not hearing each other,” this episode is for you.

Great communication isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention. With the right tools, support, and heart posture, you can break the cycle of miscommunication and build a marriage rooted in trust, clarity, and joy.
