Marriages are work – and there’s nothing wrong with that!  It simply means that many couples need to put a little extra energy and consideration into nurturing their marriages and connection.  It’s easy to get disconnected but thankfully if both people are interested in finding the bond again – it’s absolutely possible.  Let’s talk about a few tips to at least begin to help solve this common marriage problem.

• Reflect on what brought you together in the first place.
• Keep the lines of communication open and work through resentments before they become toxic. 
• Increase the level of emotional safety together – this means feeling heard, understood, validated and empathized with.
• Revisit your marriage roles and expectations.  Do you both feel they still work?
