Atrophy happens when something isn't used. Muscles, skills, and yes, marriages. Many couples tell me, "We love each other, we're just not in love anymore." What they're usually describing isn't a dead marriage. It's an unused one.
The remedy is rarely a grand gesture. It's rehabilitation: small, consistent investments that rebuild what time and neglect wore down. Couples are often surprised how quickly warmth returns when they simply start moving toward each other again.
