Lack Of Communication

Lack Of Intimacy

When there is no physical activity between you and your partner, you might benefit from therapy. A marriage therapist can offer tips on how to add that much-needed spice back into your marriage and ways to keep the intimacy going.
Keeping Secrets
A marriage full of secrets is never a good thing. If you feel you need to hide things from your spouse, it is a sign that marriage therapy may be needed. There needs to be full trust in a marriage. It doesn’t matter if the secret has to do with finances or cheating, improving communication between the two of you with the help of a therapist should help remove these secrets from your marriage.
No Emotions

Signs of this can be not getting upset when you fight with your spouse or feeling numb about the distance in your marriage. Therapy can help you dive into why you are feeling this way and how to fix it.
