Try These 5 Things Before Breaking Up

Love is worth fighting for.

First, some good news.

The divorce rate in the United States recently hit a 50 year low.

Yet, if we look around, it seems like so many are struggling to keep the love and romance alive for the long term. You may even be feeling the tension yourself, particularly in a new world when partners are spending more time together than ever due to the pandemic and so many things being closed.

If you’re feeling the strain on your relationship, here are some things you can do before throwing in the towel:

*Disclaimer: If there is ANY sign of physical or emotional abuse in your relationship, under no circumstances should you try to “fix” it or stay with your partner a moment longer. These points apply only to consensual adult relationships where both partners are willingly committed to each other.

1: Remind yourselves why you’re together in the first place.

This happens often in careers, but can also be the case in relationships. We’ve gone so far down a road for so many years that it’s easy to lose sight of why we began down this path in the first place.
