Have you ever seen two people in a relationship that you know is dead but somehow they didn’t get the memo?  You probably know on a gut level what I’m talking about - you see two people who do nothing but argue, complain about each other, or completely ignore each other. 

I believe that a relationship is a living thing with its own life force that can die.  The two partners may still be officially a couple and they may still be attached to each other but the love and care and energy have evaporated. Yet the thing just keeps going, staggering around from day to day, draining those who come in contact with it. This is what I call the nightmare scenario: a zombie relationship.  How do you know if you’re in a zombie relationship and how do you prevent it?
