You may be visiting this webpage because you realize that your marriage or relationship isn't where you want it to be. These feelings can range from missing the fondness and admiration that you once felt to a dramatic disconnect, such as happens with an affair or other crisis. Please don't assume that you are alone if this is the case because you are not. Many couples go through dramatic challenges in the lifetime of their relationship. This is true for healthy and unhealthy relationships. It is a positive sign that you are gathering information and taking an active approach to turning things around. Sometimes the strongest change agent of all is deciding that things need to change.
