Long-term relationships can be tough. That's a given. Sometimes we just forget to have fun and lose that connection with our partner that seemed so strong at the beginning of the relationship. That can be for many different reasons of course, but for Leslie and I, it was mainly because of the wedge that alcohol had driven between us. That lead to arguments and resentment and began to affect all areas of our marriage. For your relationship, it may not be alcohol. It could be financial issues, work-related stress, the responsibilities of parenting, etc. But all these things can take a toll on the relationship with your partner.
Les and I have found that our relationship is flourishing now that we have overcome some of the obstacles that alcohol had created in our lives. Because we have and continue to do our own personal growth and healing and began to accept and love ourselves, it has now made our relationship so much better. Everything from conversations, laughter, playfulness, and sex has improved. We discuss this in detail, as well as play a fun game we've done before by pulling cards from the Best Self Relationship card deck. This is a great way to create dialogue and bond with your partner. We hope you enjoy our answers and encourage you to do this with your partner as well and make your relationship fun again!
