In recent studies, 80% of men and women cited gradually growing apart, losing a sense of closeness, and not feeling loved and appreciated as reasons for initiating divorce.
Are you lonely even though you are in a relationship?
Do you feel numb or have you shut down from your partner?
Do you question whether your partner really wants to be with you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you can benefit from exploring the history of your relationship before you felt so disengaged. You can benefit from identifying personal and relational areas of growth so you can become wholly authentic.
The disengaged couple is actually at the highest risk for divorce. In recent studies, 80% of men and women cited gradually growing apart, losing a sense of closeness, and not feeling loved and appreciated as reasons for initiating divorce. So, while there are many paths to this place of feeling isolated and lonely, you are in serious danger; not because of what you are feeling, but rather because of what you are not feeling or communicating. Working together through family counseling we can sort through what contributed to the disengagement and learn how to express your feelings in a way that makes it easier for both you and your partner to reengage.
