How to Reconnect When That Spark Is Missing (2 of 6)

Acknowledge How You Got Here

What could be the root cause of this disconnect? It could be distractions caused by work, partnering, or personal issues. Perhaps there is a conflict that remains unresolved, and this has become a serious source of tension. Maybe you talk over each other rather than listen. Whatever the reasons, it is important to acknowledge them without blame. It’s not about looking for an excuse to pick a fight; it’s about taking inventory of what’s shifted and committing to finding your way back.

Make Space for Reconnection

Scheduling uninterrupted time together is the first step to achieving a relationship reconnect. Even if it’s just thirty minutes a few times a week, the aim is to simply be present for each other. Put away the phones and other distractions. No need to engage in deep conversations right away. Sit together. Go for walks. Share a meal. Let small comforts return before diving into potentially uncomfortable talks.
