Why Surface Fixes Don’t Heal a Marriage

So many couples try to “fix” their relationship with surface solutions: avoiding conflict, pushing down emotions, being temporarily nicer, promising to communicate better… but never addressing the deeper issues beneath the surface.

And just like that vase, what hasn’t been repaired eventually leaks.
The resentment leaks.
The unspoken needs leak.
The old wounds leak.
The fear and frustration leak.

Not because the marriage is doomed, but because duct tape can’t do the job that real restoration requires.

Healing a marriage means repairing the cracks — not hiding them. It means slowing down, doing the heart work, learning new patterns, and building safety again. A marriage becomes strong not by pretending everything is fine, but by finally tending to what’s been broken.

If you’re tired of patching things up only to watch them fall apart again, that’s exactly what we rebuild inside Marriage in Bloom, my six-month marriage recovery intensive.
