Too many people think they hit “Pause” on their marriage. They are waiting for something to happen, and then it will be time for their marriage. Maybe it is when the kids hit a certain age (or leave the house), when a career gets to some certain point, when goals are achieved, etc., etc., etc.
There is only one problem: there is NO PAUSE for a marriage!
Marriages, and all relationships, are either growing or declining, proceeding or receding.
There is no pause.
The lifeblood of any marriage is connection. When people think they hit the pause button, usually, the connection is also paused. And when connection is paused, the circulation system of the relationship is choked. The relationship begins to suffocate. Soon, frustration builds. Disconnection accelerates.
And that is when I have clients tell me, “I thought we were OK. I knew we were a little disconnected, but I thought it was just a life stage. I thought we would come back to the relationship when. . . .” And they discover a spouse who is feeling done.
There is no pause in a relationship.
