While relationships have their ups, it’s safe to say they also have their downs. Quite often, connections appear to be breaking down and to try to repair this, both parties need to contribute to re-establishing the essential elements required to make the relationship fully functional again. The fire may feel like it’s fizzling out – but it’s quite easily forgotten that relationship counselling can have a massive impact in helping you bring that passion and excitement back into the relationship.

Keep the connection alive

it is absolutely essential that the basic building bricks of the relationship remain. One of the main reasons we connect with that individual is because we see qualities we like in ourselves in them. It is important to remind yourself of these qualities – and perhaps any you feel may have changed since the inception of your relationship.

Immediate physical attraction

Attraction isn’t a choice. It’s either there from the start or it isn’t. It can’t be forced. It has to be natural – a chemical reaction. But attraction alone, isn’t enough, because it’s instantaneous and involuntary – and this can be a major contributor in creating problems within relationships. But there’s also the risk of being attracted to others while you’re in a relationship  the cliché “look but don’t touch” is particularly important here. For some, it’s simply too difficult to resist. The laws of attraction need to be addressed when dealing with issues within your relationship.

Quality time

Perhaps the most essential element. Work can often dominate your life – throw in family, friends and football… it’s quite easily to take for granted who you have waiting at home. Shared experiences and shared time means support, communication and empathy, all crucial to keeping your relationship flowing well.
