Mars   Venus Counseling Center | Telehealth Counseling, Starting Over, Break-up Counseling, and Divorce Counseling and Grief   Bereavement

What's something that has disappeared from current marriages (that was very common for Boomers)?

One element that has diminished in modern marriages, though common among Boomers, is space and silence. When disagreements occurred, Boomer couples often paused and embraced silence as a means to reflect and understand, rather than as a form of avoidance or punishment. This space provided time for emotions to cool before continuing the conversation.

For men, this silence often took the form of retreating to a “man cave” to process their thoughts. Women also found value in quiet moments to regain clarity. In today’s relationships, many couples feel the need to resolve conflicts immediately, fearing that delays signify disconnection or that their relationship is flawed if they can’t reach instant agreement. With technology and constant interaction via social media, patience in emotional processing can seem outdated, unnecessary, or even odd.

Reintroducing silence into relationships requires trust — understanding that space doesn’t mean separation. Instead, it promotes clarity, mutual respect, and deeper intimacy.
