<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Do you remember the last time your husband touched you?<\/span><\/p>\n Or the last time he went out of his way to do something for you?<\/span><\/p>\n Has he become sensitive about stuff that he would have normally overlooked?<\/span><\/p>\n Is he happy to see you in the evenings, or has your husband lost interest in your marriage?<\/span><\/p>\n Your marriage is defined by your connection with each other. The communication, sex, interactions and the times you spend together<\/a>: these are all there to increase your bond. <\/span><\/p>\n When we talk of soul mates, we are talking about a connection between two hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n Everything we do in a relationship is geared towards increasing that connection.<\/span><\/p>\n So, when you feel that your husband is distant, it does not mean that your husband has lost interest in the relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n What it could mean, however, is that the things that act as a bridge between the two souls have been weakened. If you strengthen them, you will realize that the love never really went anywhere.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Many relationships go through phases when the man doesn’t seem as plugged into the relationship as he has previously been. There are numerous reasons why the momentum of your relationship may have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n The more you stay in a marriage, the more the<\/span> responsibilities you have to share<\/span>: Children, money, and a home.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>Jennifer Jacobsen Schulz<\/span><\/a>, LCSW<\/span><\/p>\n Marriages take effort to maintain, and with the stress that comes with children, finances, and maintaining busy schedules, it’s easy to grow apart over time.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n With time, many couples find that their interactions have been reduced to a series of business conversations. Somewhere along the journey, you grow distant and become like partners trying to run the corporation that is your family. <\/span><\/p>\n You forget how to be friends with each other<\/a>. It is a very simple equation, really. The quality of your friendship with your husband determines the quality of your intimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n Remember, love is not just something that people fall in and out of like it is beyond their control.<\/span> Love is a choice<\/span> you make every day: by respecting, trusting, committing to each other and ultimately having a healthy friendship. <\/span><\/p>\n So, if you are wondering why your husband seems distant and distracted, evaluate your friendship. No one can ignore a good friend.<\/span><\/p>\n Research<\/span><\/i><\/a> shows that married men live longer than single guys. Dr. Oz argues that it has little to do with happiness. Married men live longer because their wives make sure they see a doctor.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Children<\/span> deserve special mention. They have a significant impact on a couple’s relationship<\/a>. Both the husband and wife change after having a baby, and therefore the relationship changes. <\/span><\/p>\n The husband feels the pressure of fatherhood, while the wife goes through much more, physically and emotionally.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The issue comes in because mothers have a bottomless reserve of giving for their children. A mother will keep on giving to her child well beyond the point of exhaustion.<\/span><\/p>\n Problems start to occur when a husband starts wondering why the wife cannot go above and beyond for his needs as well. Also, sometimes a husband struggles to find his place in his own family after children are born<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n As a wife, you must be willing to work with your husband to find support systems to help you shut off your mother role every once in a while so that you can have some time for yourself and your husband, without the children.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Marriage is like everything else. After the initial excitement, we slip into routines that are all about ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Jennifer Jacobsen Schulz, LCSW, highlights that:<\/p>\n Sometimes, marriages go through rough patches, but with time, patience, and effort, things get better over-time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s just like a new job: you are initially excited and go on and on about how lucky you are to land such a fantastic job. But then over time, you slip into negative attitudes that reduce the fun you first had, and your job performance suffers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Love may be hidden, but it never left<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
