Scenario

When couples turn connecting into another chore

My husband and I plan these elaborate date nights to 'reconnect' but they always feel like performances of what a good marriage should look like rather than actually enjoying ourselves. We're trying so hard to fix our relationship that we've forgotten how to just be together without it being work, and the pressure to have meaningful conversations is killing any chance of natural intimacy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desperate effort to manufacture intimacy has turned your relationship into a project, strangling the spontaneity that connection actually requires.
