The passion you used to have with your spouse is gone. You tell each other “I love you” and give each other a kiss, but it feels scripted and automatic; as if you are just going through the motions. You wonder, “How did we get here?” Things used to be so perfect between you two. Now, every little thing turns into a fight. You feel like you fight about everything and yet nothing at all. You long to go back to when love seemed easy and not a chore. You look at the happy couples around you and wonder, “What went wrong?” You’re scared that you’re headed for divorce, something you swore you would never do.
