About
Creating Lasting Intimacy in Marriage
If you want to strengthen the bond between you and your spouse, The Connected Marriage will help guide you. This book was written to help couples build stronger, healthier, and more intentional relationships. Over the past years, its framework and goal have been simple but effective: be clear, practical, and easy for couples to use. It allows couples to better understand each other without feeling overwhelmed, while also giving them tools they can apply in day-to-day life. Its concepts and practices are accessible, realistic, and rooted in real clinical experience.
Our Vision, Purpose, and Goals
The vision and purpose of The Connected Marriage is to help couples build deeply connected marriages that impact generations. Marital challenges don’t just affect two people. They can also have a lasting influence and impact on children, families, and future generations. That’s why working on these challenges sooner rather than later is critical. The hope behind our work is for couples to grow in awareness, change their behavior, and create marriages that are stronger, more connected, and built to last.
About Jeremy Erickson, Author and Founder
Jeremy Erickson, MA, MFTC, LPC, CSAT, CMAT, and EMDR, is a marriage therapist and counselor serving couples in Southaven, MS, and surrounding areas. His inspiration for writing The Connected Marriage came from years of counseling couples in his private practice, Salt and Light Counseling.
After using these concepts with hundreds of clients, it became clear that couples needed a simple, effective way to assess their relationship and take steps toward a healthier connection. That professional experience helped shape a resource grounded in both research, practical application, and faith-based education.
