You know what is amazing about marriage/long-term relationships? Every second after that 'I do' takes work and effort. And, more, every second gives you the opportunity to question your decision to walk down the aisle in the first place. Are you in a place where you are not clicking as well?
Try this to reconnect: Deliberately take the time to consider: Remember what you loved about your partner at the beginning of your relationship.
Take some time to ask yourself, 'What attracted me to my partner?
What helped me fall in love in the first place?
What are some things I said or did but don't anymore?
What are some things they said or did but don't do anymore?
Are these things I still experience or notice with my partner?’
If you can identify these things, look for them in your relationship again. Slowly, the positive energy and focus will flow in again.
Be your best, friends
