Feeling Lonely in Marriage? Reconnect Now.
Do you find yourself yearning for the feelings you had in the early part of your relationship? You are not alone. It is common to experience feelings of loneliness and disconnect even though you living together under the same roof.
In therapy, we work to restore the parts of your marriage that create intimacy and connection – the very opposite of loneliness.
When you first fell in love you may have enamored by your ability to communicate. In the beginning, you may have felt: “he’s interested when I talk”, “she gets me”, “I open up like I never opened up before.”
So, why do I feel so alone in my marriage?
The pressures of daily life tend to cripple our ability to listen. Over time, loneliness tends to grow. Eventually, sometimes over a period of years, we can gradually grow disconnected from our spouse. The result is that we can feel lonely in marriage.
Did you notice when animated conversations about shared interests, ambitions, goals and dreams gave way entirely to the daily business of running your household? Sometimes keeping up with finances (“did you pay the electric bill?”) or the stresses of parenting can take the place of real, meaningful emotional connection.
Did you and your spouse fall into routines that create distance? Do you go to sleep early while your spouse stays up late? Do you work on the computer while your spouse reads or watches TV in another room? Over time, you can develop separate and parallel lives that erode love and affection.
