Any and every relationship requires time and attention. Sometimes our busy schedules, social life or extracurriculars can leave your partner feeling neglected. With so much going on in the world, it’s difficult to maintain healthy and loving relationships if you do not make a conscious effort to do so. Here are some tips on how to rekindle your romance:
  • Carve out time to be together
The most important way to rekindle a relationship is to make sure that your partner feels important and that you are willing to make time for them. Simple steps like setting a date night or taking turns in planning surprise dates for each other can ensure that you make a point of reconnecting on a regular basis. The added bonus of making it a surprise is that it contributes to the endorphin-boosting feelings of mystery and anticipation. 
  • Look for adventure
Studies have shown that adrenaline can help in increasing attraction. Trying a new and exciting activity could help in bringing you together. Dubai holds countless possibilities of different activities you could consider from skydiving to rides at water parks. 
  • Relationship Counselling
Going for counselling should not be thought of as a last resort. Many couples find that getting outside help and insight into their relationship can assist with sorting out any bad learned behaviours or work through the baggage that a couple may be carrying.  Most of us are no strangers to the saying “communication is key”. This sentiment often refers to one of the most important factors to having a healthy relationship. Some of us find it difficult to effectively talk and listen to our partners. This could be because you don’t know how to talk about your feelings or create a safe space for your partners to share.  Going to a professional can also help in preventing negative traits from creeping into your relationship. These can be aspects such as blame, contempt, and defensiveness. 
  • Talk
Getting your relationship back on track can be achieved by taking simple steps like talking. Remember when you used to spend hours talking to your newfound love interest? Try and bring that back by asking about their day, work relationships, hobbies or even about what they saw online that day. This can remind your partner that you’re interested in them and that what they do matters to you. 
  • Be affectionate
Sometimes you need to be reminded that everyone has a different love language. The different languages are words of affirmation, physical touch, receiving gifts, quality time and acts of service. Going the extra mile in being attentive to how your partner needs to feel loved will make it noticeable that you care about their wants and needs. There are so many ways to try and rekindle a relationship, so don’t feel down if the state of your love life is not exactly where you would like it to be. The first step is to be open and honest about how you see the relationship and then take steps in the right direction.
