'definitely recommend this book to couples that are time poor, but want to be able to balance the busy seasons of life with a connected intimate relationship.'

"As two self-employed professionals raising five kids and juggling an active community life, my husband and I often found ourselves stuck in a cycle of logistics. We feel we work well as a team, but the deeper connection between us does become easy to overlook with how busy life feels. Couple Connection Mastery helped us prioritize and tend to our relationship in a way that felt both manageable and meaningful.

The most impactful change for us has been learning to value and enjoy the micro-moments of connection. Instead of waiting for a free evening or dedicated date to feel close, we’ve started noticing each other again in the small in-between spaces of daily life. That shift helped me stop compartmentalizing “quality time” as something separate from the grind of parenting and work.

I really liked the experiential/practical nature of the book! The check-in tools and mapping exercises surprised me. I tend to be a glass-half-empty kind of person, but the process helped me see we’re actually more connected and satisfied in our relationship than I had realised. Without that intentional tracking, I would’ve underestimated what was already working between us!

Daryl writes with warmth, clarity and deep clinical insight. We found the tone to be kind and constructive, and the overall framework is well-structured without being rigid.

I would definitely recommend this book to those couples that are time poor, but want to be able to balance the busy seasons of life with a connected and intimate relationship." Eva Jones - Somatic and Trauma Therapist
