Couple’s Therapy & Marriage Counseling
Counseling in San Antonio & Schertz for Couples and Marriages
Strengthening love and connection by helping couples create lasting and healthy relationships
This is not what happily ever after was supposed to look like. Your connection, intimacy, spark, and the simple enjoyment of being together is lost. You want to feel a connection but the distance between you keeps growing every day. You stay together, because you know you love each other. You just don’t know how to love each other.
You can’t continue to ignore that you don’t even talk. At least when you were arguing every day, there was some sort of communication happening. Now there’s silence. You’re just going through the motions on autopilot. Things get done, but you’re not doing them together. What you once did as a team is now a solo mission, and you can’t remember the last time you felt deeply connected to each other.
You don’t know what else to do to make your relationship work. You’re sleeping on opposite ends of the bed, and on the rare occasion that you do try to share an intimate moment, it seems so cold and undesirable. Everything you had seems to be lost, and you don’t recognize each other anymore. Drawing closer only deepens your wounds, because none of the progress you make ever seems sustainable. There’s no real communication. No fun. No intimacy. No connection.
