A Soulful Marriage: When Science Meets the Heart

A Soulful Marriage: When Science Meets the Heart
|

What happens when a family law litigator and a love scientist meet behind the mic?

On a recent episode of Schein On, Evan Schein sits down with Dr. Rachel Glik — therapist, relationship coach, and author of A Soulful Marriage. Together, they explore what it means to love deeply, intentionally, and consciously.

Dr. Glik doesn’t promise “happily ever after.” She offers a roadmap for couples who want to stay connected and evolve together, long after the honeymoon phase ends.

πŸŽ™οΈ Interview Highlights

✨ The “Soulful Marriage” Mindset

Dr. Glik defines a soulful marriage as one built on awareness and growth. It is about seeing challenges not as threats, but as invitations to learn about yourself and your partner.

πŸ’¬ From Resentment to Curiosity

Instead of “Why are you like this?” ask “What can I learn from this?” That shift transforms conflict into connection.

πŸ’ž Physical Intimacy = Emotional Safety

Evan and Rachel discuss how genuine intimacy starts with feeling emotionally safe. When you can express your truth without fear, love flourishes — and so does passion.

πŸ’‘ Marriage as a Practice

She calls marriage a “living classroom.” The couples who thrive are not conflict-free. Rather, they are repair experts who show up with humility, empathy, and humor.

Dr. Rachel Glik’s insights remind us that marriage isn’t about perfection. It is about presence.
