How deep is your love?
Sometimes saying "I love you" is not enough
It is what you do that matters. After the initial falling-in-love period the love changes into another kind of love. When looked after the right way it can become a deep love. This love is conditioned by how we behave towards each other and from the bond that is created when we are doing things together as a couple.
It can be simple things like holding hands, looking into each other's eyes, actively listening, love notes, and cooking a meal. You can make the feeling even stronger by making plans together. Planning holidays, moving in together, going to concerts, and theatres.
Couples therapy
Most people see couples therapy as an emergency measure rather than a preventative one, but you don't need to wait until you're about to break up. Even people who are mainly satisfied with their relationship can benefit from seeking therapy because here you get a space where it feels safe to talk about things that they usually would never say out loud. It opens up conversations about money, future goals, sex life, or things causing frictions.
When the relationship is on rocky ground
After a long period of arguing and a lack of effort to improve things you find yourselves on the edge of breakup. If you are still reading it means that you are not sure that you want to give up on the relationship. You might have been looking around to see who else is out there but in the end you and your partner have also had some fun times together and the thought of splitting up seems to rough. So why not give couples therapy a try to save your relationship?
The sooner, the better. The longer you wait, the more the bad relationship habits (yelling, the silent treatment, criticizing, down prioritizing your partner) become and the harder it is to break them.
