Codes

Get the free Wheel

Four minutes, two people, eight core emotions. The free tool that names what's happening underneath.

Connection Codes hands you the words for what is happening underneath — so the same fight stops being the same fight.

Sound familiar

  • Shame

  • Lonely

  • Hurt

None of that means something is wrong with you. It means nobody handed you the language.

Meet Dr Glenn & Phyllis

Dr Glenn Hill

Glenn is a marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist with a private practice in Nashville. Phyllis is his wife of forty years — and the one who tells the truth about what all of this actually looked like in their own marriage. Together they wrote The Connection Codes, now published in English and German.

What they teach comes down to two questions every person carries into a marriage: will you be there for me, and am I good enough for you. When the answer goes quiet — even for a few seconds — something in us panics. That is not immaturity. That is how we are built.

We're faith-based. We teach this for couples who believe love is a calling, not just a feeling.

Start here — it's free

The tool that gives you the words.

It's called the Core Emotion Wheel. Most of us can name two emotions. There are eight — each one carrying a message and a need. Tap one.

Real couples

“Connection Codes gave us the practical tools we desperately needed to become vulnerable, feel truly heard, and heal deep wounds in our marriage. For the first time in 23 years, we know how to find our way back to connection—even after hard days.”
Angie & Ryan
“Connection Codes changed our marriage by giving us practical tools to connect, reflect, and understand each other more deeply. As a multicultural, bilingual couple, we discovered that this language of connection truly is for everyone.”
Yngvar & Ruth
“Connection Codes has revolutionized our marriage by helping us break painful cycles, understand what’s really happening beneath our emotions, and reconnect instead of trying to fix each other. The Core Emotion Wheel has become one of the most valuable tools in our relationship.”
Jeff & Petra

The way back
