Family
Sustaining Relationships 17 July 2006
According to research from the charity Relate, one in four couples now coming for counselling seek help simply because they've fallen out of love. These couples often describe each other as best friends, and essentially their partnership has become defined by companionship rather than passion.

So how can couples stop their passion cooling over the years into an unsatisfactory, sibling-like partnership? Jenni talks to Andrew G. Marshall, whose book 'I love you but I'm not in love with you' was written in response to what he believes is a growing epidemic. She's also joined by the psychotherapist Valerie Sinason.
