You two just don’t talk anymore. If you do, it’s rarely about something meaningful or beneficial.

It honestly feels like you’re just roommates. Intimacy, sex, or romance seem like a thing of the past.

To think of the last time you had fun together is pretty difficult. It’s even more difficult to think of the last time you liked being around the other person.

If this sounds like your relationship, it could be time to start marriage counseling.

Relationships are tough. Finding the balance of intimacy, responsibility, schedules, and fun can feel impossible. It feels like all you do when you’re around each other is argue. There’s no us time where you can be in each other’s space and not argue. Or, if you’re not arguing, you aren’t talking at all. Somehow, even when you’re around each other, you feel alone. At this rate, what’s the point of being together if this is how it’s going to be? Starting marriage counseling can help your relationship flourish.
