How's Your Couple Hygiene?
Did you know that nearly 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the U.S. end up getting divorced? Many couples start their journey together with the best intentions but often lack the tools and knowledge to nurture their relationship over time. In fact, a survey by Nicole Weaver found that about 50 percent of those who have divorced later regret their decision, with many contemplating giving their relationship another chance.
Safety & Security Comes From a Strong Alliance
A strong alliance with your partner is the cornerstone of a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Think about this: Do you feel you’re both on the same side? Is your partner the person you turn to when you’re afraid, hurt, or sad? If your answer is “no,” it may be time to explore what’s preventing that closeness. Many individuals and couples experience erosion in their alliances over time, leading them to feel more like adversaries than allies.
Time & Talk With Your Partner
Spending meaningful time with your partner is a cornerstone of a thriving relationship. The quality and quantity of this time are significant, but it’s essential to recognize that what works for one couple might not work for another. Your needs are uniquely yours—just as your partner’s needs are theirs. Embracing this individuality, rather than comparing your relationship to others, can foster deeper connection and understanding.
