Here is an excerpt from the first chapter. "Before I tell you more about Denise and John, let me highlight the issue that couples often talk about in therapy. “I married my best friend. What happened?” Sometimes it is hard to understand why you do not feel emotionally close to your partner. Everything on the outside looks fine, and you are getting through your daily routine. But your day can be laced with inner loneliness. Both of you feel it and may express it in different ways. “We need to have more sex!” “If he would just help with the kids, I would feel like he is there for me.” A disconnect can happen between married partners when each is responsible for many essential things. It could be running a business or a department, being a project manager, having deadlines, and critical objectives. A disconnect can occur when life's problems are more intense than you or your partner can handle. Some couples call it "Life Happens!"
