Research shows that men often under-disclose mental distress, particularly with depressive symptoms. This non-disclosure is linked to masculinity norms and loneliness, increasing the risk of untreated depression.
A sexless marriage, or dead bedroom, can be painful for both partners. While not the only component of a healthy relationship, sex is vital for intimacy and emotional connection. A decrease in sexual intimacy often leaves couples feeling rejected, lonely, and confused, with many struggling in silence and wondering if change is possible.
Infidelity can feel like an emotional earthquake in a relationship. It often shatters trust, disrupts a shared sense of reality, and leaves both partners questioning what the future holds. While an affair can be one of the most painful experiences a couple faces, it does not automatically mean the relationship must end.
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in relationships. It’s often seen as something purely destructive, a force that pushes partners apart. But anger, when explored with awareness and compassion, can also be a signal, a sign that something deeper within the relationship needs attention, understanding, or change.
Many people seek counselling when their marriage feels like it’s falling apart, when communication breaks down, trust is damaged, or emotional closeness has faded. But the truth is, saving your marriage isn’t just about repairing what’s broken. It’s about creating a relationship that feels alive, connected, and meaningful again.
