1st Step: Set some relationship goals
One of the quickest routes to relationship reconnection is
setting a mutual goal – one that you can strive for as a
couple. But we suggest going even further and making the
goals about your relationship itself. Sit down together (try
going to a cafe or quiet bar rather than staying at home) and
think about what you would like to see happen.
Do you want to have more fun together? Talk the way you
used to at the beginning of your relationship? Go out more?
Expand your social circle? Whatever you decide, write it
down. This can be your guide going forward for how to
really improve your life together – in a way that works for
both of you.
2nd Step: Talk about what's working – and what isn't
If you want to get your relationship back on track, you're
going to have to talk about it. Make a point of being honest
about what is working and what could use some
improvement. Agree to continue doing the things that bring
you closer (and ideally do them even more) and make an
effort to change what causes friction or stress.
Be gentle and listen to each other. This isn't the time to
take jabs at one another. You're in this together to build a
stronger connection and improve what you have together. If
you've been frustrated with doing all the housework,
explain how it makes you feel (tired and like you aren't
working as a team). If he is concerned with your lack of
interest in having fun together, take it in stride and use it to
spur you on to make your bond even better.
3rd Step: Bring back that loving feeling
A lackluster love connection doesn't have to be the end of
the line. Most couples get into ruts or hit snags so feeling a
bit out of touch is normal. The key to bringing that love
back is to refocus your attention on the positive. Stress, too
many responsibilities and financial strain can cause couples
to start turning against each other, rather than working as a
team. Don't let this happen to you.
Focus on what you love about your partner and think back
to loving memories you can draw on when you feel less
than loving. The more loving thoughts you conjure up, the
easier it will be to reconnect and start to boost your
connection.
