When couples feel that they are not emotionally connected with each other it is usually a sign that one or both of them has an emotional connection somewhere else. For some people their emotional connection could be work. In our culture spending a lot of time at work is looked at positively. Consequently, it is easy to see how work can become the area where the emotional energy is placed. For instance, if a man has his connection with work, there is a high likelihood that his spouse although she may work outside the home, has her emotional connection with the children.
Likewise, if the emotional connection is with alcohol or drugs there will be an intimacy gap in the couple relationship. If you want to strengthen your couple relationship try to figure out where the emotional connection is for each of you. The task then becomes to redirect energy towards each other in order to grow the couple relationship.
