marriage

One of ever two American marriages ends up in divorce. I am a psychotherapist in private practice and have worked with many couples over the years. The realization that their marriage is in crisis is what brings couples into my office. It seems that individuals are having extreme difficulty connecting with others on an intimate level. This happens because they are not sure of what intimacy means and they are frightened to let their guards down in order to allow this closeness to occur. The art of intimacy is not taught in many places in modern society.
