What is the Path to Passion?
The Path to Passion creates a space for you to be loved for who you are.
The Path to Passion is run by Mika and Clay, a real life couple who have faced their own obstacles with love and relationships and use their knowledge of self-awareness and emotional responsibility to help people become the catalyst of change in their life.

We want to help create a space for you to make real and tangible differences in your love life because the root of a successful relationship begins with YOU!.
If you’re a newbie to our blog, this is a great place to start. Since time is so valuable these days, we’ve compiled a list of our most popular and personal favorite posts.
We’re Starting a Revolution!
On the Path to Passion, there’s a fight brewing and it begins with the Relationship Revolution. We’re standing against everyone who uses anxiety-based relationship advice that doesn’t get to the root of relationship problems. Discover why We’re Declaring War and what anxiety-based advice is in the first place.

Hi! I am glad to have found and read your blog. Your sharing about your own personal love life is very encouraging. To know that someone out there has gone through the heart ache of a broken relationship and coming out of it stronger than ever is very heart-warming. Thanks for the sharing.

Well just yesterday my wife said she was leaving. I cant say I blame her but I do believe there is a solution to what is happening with us. I have been contracting away from my family for nearly 6yrs. During that time my wife was at home raising two kids and working(Basically living like a single mother).
I just quit my last contract so I could be at home. Believe me I have cried myself to sleep countless times because I miss them so much and feel so alone when I’m away. Perhaps I waited too long, perhaps it’s something else. I refuse to give up on her but at the same time I cannot cage her like an animal. She is a human being with feelings and as such I must respect those feelings even if it kills me.
I have been reaching out for help and advice on ways I can hold the family together. So anyone with anything to say I am interested to hear it, even if it implicates me as the bad guy.

Gosh. I have no clue where to post this. But I am so tired of the BS you you find on most online relationship advice sites. So I searched for something a little more proactive.
I need serious help, I don’t want my marriage so soon, and I fear it will.
I met my now husband at Job Corps. I was drawn to him because he didn’t just walk up and ask to have sex with me like so many other males did, and he seemed to genuinely be a wonderful guy. And he is.
Our relationship was pretty great at Job Corps, he was very affectionate, and we had sex on a pretty regular basis. The oly problem was his communication.
I finished up at Job Corps and went home. He finished a moth later and went on to college. I was going to join up with him there when I turned 18. He came to see me almost every weekend, it was tough but it was the best we could do. I ended up joining him in his college town before I turned 18, due to terrible treatment from my family. Our relationship was still pretty strong, considering we lived in the back of his car for quite some time.
We got things together and finally found a house to rent, and both started going to college together. He works, and I have not still been able to get hired, but he doesn’t hold it against me, he knows it’s not any fault of mine.
When we moved in together he slowly stopped being less affectionate and sexual towards me. I have talked to him several times about it and he says he will work on it.
We got married this June. And the problems have steadily gotten worse. He rarely kisses me, we haven’t had sexual interactions in over a week, and even more rarely communicates with me. There was actually an occasion this week when he just closed his eyes and didn’t talk back, though I knew he wasn’t asleep.
I have become very depressed and am fearful I will fall back into bad habits if this isn’t fixed. But he seems to have no interest in fixing anything, I feel as though it is all up to me. And I have no clue how to begin fixing this. Like I said, I have tried discussing it with him, that is all I can think of to do, but it’s not working.
Please help!

@L. Lockmiller, What does he say when you do talk to him about it? It sounds like the two of you might be under a lot of stress right now and that might be getting between the two of you.
I doubt he would have married you so recently if he didn’t see a future together with you.
Without knowing anything more about your situation, I’d guess that there is a lot of stress right now on him and your relationship. Chances are good that it is the stress that is doing this and nothing wrong with you.
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend signing up for this free presentation we’re doing on Saturday…

He doesn’t really say anything, ever. That is the whole point. He usually just says that he is sorry, or looks at me blankly. I have noticed, especially today, that we have terrible communication.

Clay Replied:
@L. Lockmiller, Yes, it definitely seems that way. But at one point you two had a connection, right? Then over time something got in the way and took you to this state. Do you have any idea what that might be?
Also it sounds like he is not bringing 100% of himself to the relationship. And when someone doesn’t bring all of themselves to the relationship it can cause a lot of problems. How are you handling all of this? Are you 100% committed? Sometimes people in your situation will bring less of themselves to the relationship as well to sort of “follow” their partner’s lead… They’ll start plotting their Plan B, thinking about divorce, or saving money to move out.
What really needs to happen is that the two of you need to both get 100% “in” the relationship for a period of time to see if the two of you can or can’t work things out and live harmoniously together. If you’re still having these sorts of problems after both of you giving the relationship everything you’ve got, you might just have to consider that he is either unable or unwilling to give you what you need.
Have you signed up for our free online live presentation yet? I think it could really help you.
