COUPLE THERAPY AND MARRIAGE COUNSELING

Marriage problems do not occur overnight. It takes time to develop. When you and your partner do not talk about hurt feelings, the hurt soon turns into resentment. The next stage is "emotional deadening." In this stage, you feel like roommates instead of intimate partners.

Once the stage is reached, a couple's ability to connect and be vulnerable with one another will deteriorate. It may then seem like there is little or no hope for the relationship. You may feel alone, even though you are still involved in an intimate relationship.
