Struggling with no Emotional Intimacy in Marriage? Here’s How to Reconnect
Let’s get real for a second. If you’re reading this, chances are, something feels off in your marriage. You might feel like roommates instead of partners. The emotional intimacy that once made you close has faded, and now, you’re left wondering what went wrong.
Trust me, you’re not alone. And, if this sounds like your marriage, keep reading — because there’s hope.
What Happens When Emotional Intimacy is Gone?

Why?
Because emotional intimacy is the glue that holds a marriage together. When it’s gone, the foundation starts to crumble.
