"When the bedroom goes cold, the whole marriage goes cold with it."
That's what my buddy Glenn told me. And it changed everything.
My name's David. Married to Sarah for 24 years.
Early years were great. Couldn't keep our hands off each other. Built careers. Raised two kids.
But around year 17, things went cold.
Come home. Eat in silence. Scroll phones. Opposite sides of the bed.
Friends would think "roommates." Not couple.
Sarah stopped initiating. I stopped trying. The answer was always no anyway.
"Divorce" started showing up in arguments.
We tried counselors. "More dates."
"Communicate better." Nothing worked.
They kept asking about our "emotional connection."
But our connection wasn't broken. Something else was.
