Feeling incredibly connected one week and less romantic the next doesn't automatically indicate a failing relationship.
Long-term relationships are affected by stress, sleep, work, family demands, health, major transitions, and countless everyday circumstances.
Research following couples over time shows that relationship satisfaction isn't perfectly stable.
Patterns over longer periods are generally more informative than one unusually bad day.
A healthy relationship doesn't require both partners to feel maximally romantic every single morning.
