4 Reasons Couples Grow Apart Emotionally and the 4 Levels of a Relationship: Episode 164

4 Reasons Couples Grow Apart Emotionally and the 4 Levels of a Relationship: Episode 164

A male client was vulnerable last week and said, "we've been together 10 years, have 3 beautiful children, and have great careers. And while I think we should be closer than ever, I feel more distant than ever."

This powerfully shows that being emotionally connected does not have to do with time or reaching life milestones together. In fact, couples grow apart emotionally from 4 subtle behaviors that build up over time. We go into these deeper reasons, as well as the 4 levels of a relationship so you can start to notice which level you are at, and how to progress to the next within your own relationship!
