How Does Trauma Affect the Brain?

Dr. Annette Gallardo, PhD | Faith-Based Marriage & Relationship Coach

When you first got married, feeling distant or disconnected probably felt unimaginable. But over time, between career demands, parenting, and daily stress, many couples slowly drift into a pattern where they feel more like polite roommates sharing a house than romantic partners sharing a life.

Living like roommates doesn’t mean your love is gone—it simply means your emotional connection has been replaced by operational routine. The good news is that spark and closeness can be intentionally rebuilt without overhaul or drama.
