How to reconnect with your partner
When a relationship feels distant, aim first for reliable moments of connection rather than forcing instant passion.
Create repeatable time together
A regular walk, screen-free meal or weekly date can be more useful than waiting for spontaneous quality time.
Restore affectionate contact
Non-sexual touch can help couples rediscover warmth without making every affectionate moment a demand for sex.
Ask better questions
Move beyond logistics. Ask what has felt good lately, what has felt difficult, and what each of you misses.
