Is your spouse curious about your feelings, hopes and dreams, your likes and dislikes, your needs and wants? Are they emotionally present and an active participant in the relationship?
If you answered no, you are not alone. One of the most common complaints we hear, typically from women, is that their spouse is physically present, but emotionally absent. We call this
emotional laziness - they don't invest the time, attention and effort that a relationship requires to thrive and be healthy.
"But I'm a good husband, I'm a
good parent, I provide for my family, I have a very demanding job!" These are some of the things that emotionally lazy people tell themselves to justify that they are doing enough. They may say things like "Nothing I do is enough for you" or "You're never happy," to make you feel like you are the problem.
Find out what to do if you’re married to an emotionally lazy spouse and desire greater emotional connection.
