How do you move forward in a relationship?

Personal Feelings & Self-Reflection

Moving forward together after a rough patch takes commitment and work from both partners. A few practical steps:

  1. Acknowledge the hurt and have open, honest discussions to process it. Really listen to understand each other’s perspectives.

  2. Forgive each other and yourself. Holding onto resentment will only hold you back. Choose to let it go.

  3. Recommit to the relationship and each other. Discuss your shared vision for the future and what you both want.

  4. Take concrete actions to strengthen your bond - schedule regular date nights, check in with each other often, show appreciation.

  5. Consider couples counseling to improve communication and get an objective perspective as you heal and grow.

Remember, you’re on the same team. Keep showing up for each other with love, patience and understanding. Where there’s a will, there’s a way forward together.
