You were told that marriage was hard work, but you didn’t realize just how difficult it would be. You're not sure exactly when it happened, but recently, you've begun to feel the intimacy in your relationship fade away. You used to talk to your spouse about anything, but lately, communication has been forced. Your partner was your best friend and you would have such fun together. They’re more like a stranger sitting at the table now. You reminisce about the way things used to be. There was trust and no expectations. Things were simpler then. You were happy together, you were close. You long to have that connection again.
