Do you feel incredibly alone, even when you're right next to your partner? Discover why you feel “married and alone” and how to rebuild real closeness again.

You share a home, a life, and responsibilities, yet there’s a chasm of emotional distance between the two of you. It's a quiet, heartbreaking experience that many husbands and wives don’t know how to fix or talk about. Drawing from his 40 years of counseling, psychologist Dr. Doug Weiss explores the root causes of loneliness within the relationship, including a lack of initiating connection, emotional neglect, the busyness of life, and even physical or mental health issues.

When you understand the dynamics that create emotional distance, you can finally see what’s happening beneath the surface and take the necessary steps to change it. You’ll also learn the importance of daily relationship talk and how simple disciplines can help rebuild closeness and engagement with each other.

You may be feeling married and alone, but you don’t have to stay stuck there. With the right support, resources, and therapeutic guidance, you can identify what’s happening beneath the surface and take meaningful steps toward healing.
