NOTE: This is the second of a two-part series.

Let’s say it’s been years since you and your partner have talked meaningfully about what you liked, loved, admired, respected or found attractive about each other.  If that’s the case—or close to it—we can assume that, although the two of you remain together, and perhaps even still have sex, that most of the warmth has left your relationship.  Your relationship just doesn’t feel that close anymore.

Dear Neil:  I am in my late 70’s and have been married 45 years.  My wife and I have raised three children, have helped raised four grandchildren, went bankrupt, grew a successful business, and paid off our house.  We have endured births, stillbirths, financial setbacks, an affair, life-threatening illnesses and deaths of people important to us—and through all of that we have maintained a strong commitment to each other.

Dear Neil:  My relationship with my boyfriend of almost two years has been wonderful.
