There’s a particular kind of loneliness that can settle into a good marriage. Not the loneliness of estrangement or resentment — something quieter and more insidious than that. It’s the loneliness of two people who share a home, a bed, a calendar, and a genuine love for each other, yet somehow keep missing each other at the level that matters most.

Most couples don’t drift because they stop caring. They drift because life fills every available silence. Work, children, parish commitments, aging parents, the thousand small logistics of keeping a household running — these aren’t enemies of marriage, but they are relentlessly good at crowding out the kind of slow, unhurried attention that love actually requires.
