As marriage counselors counsel as many couples as they have, they get used to hearing certain phrases a lot. One of the phrases they hear the most from distressed spouses in failing marriages is: “We’ve grown apart.” What began as a deeply romantic and satisfying relationship is now the opposite. The result is increasing emotional distance that is commonly described as “growing apart.”
