People do not always hurt the ones they love because they care less. Often, they are reacting from old survival patterns, emotional triggers, stress or shame. Counsellor, Ben Ang, explains why understanding these patterns can help couples move from blame to repair.

Can someone be independent, successful, and simply lose interest in sex? Sex Therapist & Relationship Counsellor, Dr Martha Tara Lee, explores why low sexual desire is not always a problem to fix, but may reflect changing priorities, autonomy, or emotional self-protection—and how to tell the difference.

Many couples believe their biggest problems are about money, chores, intimacy, or parenting. In reality, these conflicts are often driven by something less visible: unspoken expectations in marriage. When partners assume the other person should "just know" what they need, disappointment and repeated arguments can follow. Understanding where these expectations come from is often the first step towards building a healthier and more connected relationship.

Many couples notice this gradually. Conversations become practical. Physical affection becomes functional. Parenting takes priority, and the relationship slowly shifts from partnership to co-management. There may still be care, stability, and teamwork — yet emotional intimacy and desire quietly begin to fade. Sex Therapist & Relationship Counsellor, Dr Martha Tara Lee, discuss how to reverse the trend.
