When the Spark Fades, the Cause Isn't Always Obvious

It's tempting to assume that the problem is a lack of effort, fading attraction, or simply the passage of time. But there may be other factors influencing how comfortable, connected, and open you feel with each other. Understanding those factors is an important first step toward change.
