Marriage breakdown includes threats of separation and divorce and an erosion of trust in your fiancee or significant other. Often it begins with the partners taking their love for granted. When this happens, husbands and wives quit doing the romantic niceties they did for each other before committing exclusively to each other or getting married.
Consider by telephone or online marriage counseling as your best opportunity to truly understand your current difficulties as a couple and what you might do to change directions to no longer go down a road leading to separation and divorce. With the loss of romance, other problems often developβsexual intimacy decreases, both in frequency and in variety. Sometimes marriages become low-sex or sexless, leading to the danger that attraction grows for other men or women outside of their marriage.
Moreover, this can lead to forms of infidelity, including an inappropriate emotional appeal to others that may take the form of texting, chatting, or instant messaging and perhaps an overuse of pornography. Loss of trust can result. A few years ago, I was interviewed by a reporter for the St. Cloud Times, who based her article about cheating and infidelity on our interview. Many of my St. Cloud, MN, and online couples and marriage counseling clients, start off feeling little hope of saving their marriages.
One, or both partners, might feel so sad and hurt that they question whether they have the interest or energy even to try. My experience in working with Central Minnesota and teletherapy marriage therapy clients is that a good many married couples begin therapy under very challenging conditions.
Even so, they can and do put their committed relationship with their mate back on track. Not that it is easy - but it is an opportunity for growth.
