When couples get trapped in performing marriage roles instead of living them

We've been married for twelve years and I keep catching myself performing 'good wife' in ways that feel automatic and hollow, and my husband seems to be performing 'good husband' right back, and we're both getting exhausted by this dance we never agreed to learn.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The institutional expectations of marriage have become a script that's replacing authentic intimacy.
