More relationships die as a result of distance and disconnection than from any other cause. Over 80% of divorcing couples say "we grew apart". Why is growing apart such a common phenomenon?
In the romantic phase of a relationship, lovers shower each other with interest and attention. This kind of intense interest is a natural aphrodisiac. It's not surprising that lovemaking early on is spontaneous, frequent, and passionate. Over time, partners become reabsorbed into the flow of every day life and responsibilities, and there is a gradual withdrawal of interest in one another. That withdrawal of interest is the biggest source of disconnection in relationships.
It's unrealistic to think that the romantic phase of a relationship can last forever. However, when you notice that you're feeling distant and disconnected from your partner, it's time for a course correction. Investing some energy and interest in each other will not only help keep you connected but will provide a natural boost to libidos, as well.
