Dr. Dana’s Help to Feel In Love Again
You told us that you feel that you are no longer in love. Or perhaps you have heard these words in your marriage. I’m so sorry for your situation, but I believe I can help.
First let me say, that this is an extremely common issue in a long-term marriage. The truth is, people who are married for a long time are not typically “in love” with their partner the whole time. They fall out of love and back in again many times over the years.
Further, if your current lack of feelings has you considering running to a new relationship, you should know that doing so won’t solve 50% of the problems that may end your current relationship, because you would be bringing yourself, (50% of the partnership), with you into the new relationship. Staying ascriptnd working on yourself and through the issues with your current partner allows you to learn and grow and therefore, to become a better person and partner.
So, let me tell you the secret of people who stay married versus those who don’t stay married.
Basically, the people who stay married are willing to do what it takes to stay married – they are willing to work on it. They’re willing to learn, to grow, to change, to take risks and to take action. Let me be perfectly clear about what I am saying here: with work, almost every couple can fall back in love again.
The problem, however, is that not everyone wants to work on the marriage they currently have; meaning not everyone wants to keep the relationship the way that it is now. This is perfectly understandable, since it is probably why one or both of you no longer feels “in love.” The reality here, for both of you, is you are not (and have not been) meeting each other’s needs. I understand you may feel hurt, frustrated, resentful, or even abandoned. But it’s important during this process to remember that your spouse probably feels the same way.
Try to keep the focus on the two of you making your marriage better for the both of you, making it the marriage both of you actually want.
If you feel like you need help getting those loving feelings back, chances are one or both of you may be “checked out” of your marriage. To learn how both you and your partner can get checked back into your marriage, I give you five clear steps you can take in our two-part video series called, How to Get Your Partner Checked Back In. In this video series, I talk about the typical love-cycle of a marriage, and I tell you how to get the spouse that’s checked out to watch the second video. By the end of the first video, you’ll have hope and some clear steps to get both you and your spouse checked back into your marriage.
The second video is specifically designed to help motivate the spouse that is checked out to work on the marriage. In that video, I talk about how being happily married is a learned skill. I get real honest about the meaning of commitment and give some straightforward facts about the impact of divorce. Also, I help both of you avoid some common mistakes that you may be making in your marriage. I’ll explain that there are clear “do-able” steps you and your partner can take to get your marriage back on track. I’ll list the practical skills that lead to a happy marriage. And, finally, I’ll tell you where you can learn them and how to make them last.
To learn more about what you can do to get those loving feelings back and get you and your partner checked back into your marriage, take a look at our Two-Part Video Series “How to Get Your Partner Checked Back In.”

Video Transcript – Dr. Dana’s Help to Feel
In Love Again
Hi, I’m Dr. Dana. Thanks for taking our survey! The results indicated that you or your partner may no longer feel “in love.” Or perhaps you have even heard these words in your marriage. Do you fear that you guys may never feel that way again? I’m so sorry for your situation, but I believe I can help.
First let me say, that this is an extremely common issue in a long-term marriage. The truth is, people who are married for a long time are not typically “in love” with their partner the whole time. They fall out of love and back in again many times over the years.
Further, if your current lack of feelings has you considering getting out or running to a new relationship, you should know that doing so won’t solve 50% of the problems that may end your current relationship, because you would be bringing yourself, (50% of the partnership), with you into the situation or new relationship. Staying and working on yourself and through the issues with your current partner allows you to learn and grow and therefore, become a better person and partner. It allows you the opportunity to fall back in love with the person you are already married to.
So, let me tell you the secret of people who stay married versus those who don’t stay married.
Basically, the people who stay married are willing to do whatever it takes to stay married – they are willing to work on it. They’re willing to learn, to grow, to change, to take risks and to take action. Let me be perfectly clear about what I am saying here: with work, almost every couple can fall back in love again.
The problem, however, is that not everyone wants to work on the marriage they currently have; meaning not everyone wants to keep the relationship the way that it is now.

Dr. Dana’s Help if You Have Grown Apart from Your Spouse
You told us that you’ve grown apart and are feeling “bored.” This is an extremely common issue and can usually be attributed to lack of time spent alone together. In fact, spending time alone together is one of the most important lessons couples need to learn; it is also the lesson that most couples struggle with every day. Putting this lesson into action supports everything else, from communication, showing affection, and sex, to making your marriage fun and exciting and most of all, growing together and staying in love!
Did you know that the average couple can spend as little as one hour alone together per week; the average couple with kids – sometimes none? The average two people having an affair spend at least 15 hours per week together! Think about that for a moment. Those two people somehow manage to find 15 hours together in spite of all their other commitments, (which often include other spouses and children, etc.). When I work with couples who have “grown apart,” I ask them to find a mere eight hours a week for each other. They frequently tell me how difficult this is for them.
Make Sure You’re Growing Together, Not Apart
Remember when you were first together and you couldn’t get enough of each other? You spent hours talking and laughing, learning about each other, what you cared about, what your dreams were, what your fears were, what you liked about each other? What most people don’t realize is those things continue to grow and change over time and if we’re not checking in and spending time with each other, we are, by definition, growing away from each other and potentially growing apart.
I don’t know how many couples have come to me over the years on the verge of divorce, that tell me there are no major issues, but they’ve just “grown apart.” What “grown apart” tells me is that they have not been spending enough time together. If you do not continue to connect throughout your married life, you run the risk of being married to a stranger. The reality is, it is virtually impossible to be in love with someone you don’t really know and are not connected with; and it is virtually impossible to truly know someone with whom you never spend time; you can certainly “love” them – but be “in love”? No. There’s a reason why 90% of long distance relationships fail within a year. They simply don’t spend enough time together. Further, as we’ve already mentioned, couples that don’t spend enough time alone together can’t meet each other’s emotional needs and as such, one or both may be tempted into an affair. If you’re not meeting each other’s needs, chances greatly increase that one or both of you may be more easily tempted to find someone else who will.
Time Makes Everything Else Easier
Of course there are other critical components in a happy, healthy marriage, like communication and affection, to name just a few. But how can you work on communication, if you never have the time to talk to each other? How can you work on affection if you don’t spend time together? How can you resolve money issues if you’re rarely in the same room? How can you learn to be a team, if you’re always alone?
I can explain, in great detail about all of these topics, but unless you take the time to be alone to talk with each other, to be affectionate with one another and to enjoy each other, you’ve lost the single most vital component in any marriage and things can only begin to crumble.
