Communication deficit challenged in couples therapy

The nature of our rapidly lived lives can often mean that we lose contact with our partners, writes Richard Hogan.

The intimacy that was once so easily expressed in those early days can quickly dissipate due to the demands and responsibilities each member of the couple feels in that relationship. And the nature of the modern couple has changed too. Couples are generally meeting later in life and therefore having children at a later age, this can place considerable strain on the couple as they try to navigate both working and parenting life together.
