In my recent conversation on Rejuvenaging with Dr. Ron Kaiser, we explored a fundamental truth about relationships that often goes unnoticed: priorities—not just love—determine long-term success.

Most couples assume they are on the same page, but over time, subtle shifts in priorities create distance. The problem isn’t a lack of love—it’s a lack of clarity. If you don’t actively check in on where your relationship stands, you risk drifting apart without realizing it.

Let’s dive into why this happens and how to fix it.

In my recent conversation on All The Things with Michelle Wolfe, we explored something most couples never think to measure—relationship alignment. Everyone tracks finances, health, and career growth, but few people track the health of their relationship. That’s exactly why I created Prioritize Us—to bring clarity, structure, and measurable alignment to modern relationships.

Most relationships don’t fail because of a lack of love. They fail because of misaligned priorities. When couples experience tension, they often think they’re arguing about money, time, or intimacy, but in reality, these are just symptoms of deeper misalignments.

Most relationships don’t fail because of a lack of love. They fail because of misalignment.

That’s a bold statement. But it’s also the truth.

Couples break up all the time even though they love each other. Relationships end in frustration, not because the feelings weren’t real, but because the fundamentals weren’t aligned.

And the worst part? Most people don’t realize it until it’s too late.
