Relationship Therapy

Imagine a couple who have a passionate and exciting beginning. They get together and real-life takes over.

If they can keep their passionate and loving relationship, they have a haven to go to if things get tough, boring or distracting.

More often, we have examples like these:

A child is born, the mother becomes exhausted and overwhelmed with responsibility. She becomes the sensible, responsible person on red alert for danger.

The father of the child feels a bit pushed out and slightly redundant. He feels the need to be more successful at work, working harder and longer hours. He comes home to a wife who is acting a bit like his mother did towards his father.

Spontaneity goes out of the window.

Time goes on and laughs become rare. They are not the same people they were and become self-conscious with each other when intimate.

She is annoyed with him because either she is too tired or ‘it’s just not the same and he doesn’t seem to know how to make me feel ‘good’.

He becomes anxious, afraid to do the wrong thing or be rebuked. She feels responsible for him when he is anxious and resentful that he could let her down this way.

He feels guilty for her unhappiness, tries not to bother her when she is angry.

She feels more alone and swings between being sad and angry.

And so it goes on.

They become further and further apart and do not know why.
