The feet communicate something all couples want–to be connected.  When the feet are interlocked the relationship is safe, loving, and exclusive.  “We are a we.”

Staying connected is not as easy as it may have been when you first became a “we”. Later, it morphs into something different, akin to running a business.  Roles and responsibilities relocate the relationship to the back burner, while jobs and kids (if you have them) move to the front.  Conversations are more about tasks to be done than time for fun.

Couples who do not regularly attend to their relationship suffer from “marital drift”, the slow gradual distancing that leads to discontent. Signs of the drift start to pop up everywhere. Even the feet drift apart.  It’s hard to talk without a fight erupting. Intimacy drifts too.

If your relationship is in a drift you may want to seek some help to move it back in the right direction.  Couples counseling is a perfect venue for you to learn how to get your feet back where they belong.  We have skilled counselors who specialize in relationships that can help you break negative patterns and establish healthy connections..
