Are you disappointed in the state of your marriage?  Do you find yourself feeling more frustration than love for your partner?  Have you found yourself questioning if you married the right person?  Perhaps an affair or betrayal has you traumatized and you’re questioning if you’ll ever be able to trust your spouse again.  Or maybe you just miss the emotional connection you once had.

A stressful relationship impacts every aspect of your life.  It affects how you interact with your children.  You may find yourself snapping at your children, then feeling guilty afterwards. It affects your job performance. You may be distracted at work, or more likely working long hours to avoid going home. It affects your health. Are you numbing out on food or alcohol because you’re depressed about your marriage?  Are you carrying around extra weight because food is your only source of joy?
