Hi, I'm Melissa Divaris Thompson.
I've been married more than sixteen years, and I'm also a licensed therapist specializing in couples and relationships.
A few years into my own marriage, I noticed my partner and I had gotten very good at running our life together, and much quieter about actually being close inside it. Nothing was wrong exactly. It just felt like we'd become teammates instead of partners, and I didn't have a name for that, let alone a way to fix it.
What eventually helped wasn't a big gesture or a vacation. It was small, specific skills, ones nobody had ever taught either of us, practiced on purpose over a few weeks.
