6 Tips to Bring Back the Love You Have Lost

Listen to this article

When you are in a long relationship, it is perfectly normal to have days where you feel more or less attached and in love with your significant other. However, it is not normal to have feelings in a relationship that may leave you with hopelessness and make you question whether you have made the right decision.

When you feel as if you are not in love with your partner you may start worrying and find yourself thinking whether you should throw in the towel or is this just a phase. At this time it is suggested that you keep hope and make a list of things that have caused you feeling this way.

Once you list down all your problems, it can still be hard to find out why you have lost your feelings that once made you have butterflies. However, you can work out this issue and fall back in love with your partner.

Follow the steps mentioned below and fall in love with your partner all over again

1. Reignite your spark

After years of dating and being committed to someone, your significant other can feel more like a roommate to you rather than a romantic partner. This can be due to your partner being busy with kids and work, or you may have grown apart, or the spark you once had might not be there anymore.

Whatever reason it is that caused you to fall out of love, you can fall back in by reigniting the spark. Remember what it was before life got in the way and you both got busy; this will help in bringing back your lost feelings.

2. Try to be more demonstrative

After being with someone for a long time, you are no longer physical. Long-term couples stop touching one another, and this can make you two drift apart. When two people touch, there’s a rush of adrenaline in your body that triggers the brain to release chemicals making you fall in love.

When you are drifting apart with your partner, think about how long it has been before you two were physical even if it is simply a hug. Try to be more touchy-feely, and this will help you two in falling in love again.

3. Sleep close to one another

Just like brain releases chemicals when you make physical contact, similarly sleeping together also helps in releasing these chemicals.

Whether it is your hand touching your partner or simply your toes, even the slightest touch releases happy chemicals and makes you be more contented and satisfied with your relationship.

4. Limit the use of technology

If you are busy with the use of your phone or your laptop, then it is time that you place yourself and your partner on a technology diet. Nowadays nothing kills love and communication faster than technology.

Try to put your partner and your relationship on first priority; try to set down rules such as that when you and your partner are together, no one can use technology.

5. Go on a vacation

It is essential that you and the significant other spend some time away from all the responsibility.

If family responsibilities and work have placed your love life as the last thing on your mind, then you definitely need a break.

Take some time off and have a romantic getaway; look into each other’s eyes, sleep under the stars and run along the beach. This vacation will take your mind off the wall that needs repairing and the bathroom that needs flooring.

6. Let go of resentment

When you have been with someone for years, you can hold grudges and resentment in your heart. Sometimes these resentments can play a major role in drifting you’re apart from your partner. Instead, focus on forgiving; forgiveness is essential for the survival of a long-term relationship.

The truth is, no one is perfect.

Everyone makes mistakes, and you will have to forgive them one way or another if you want your relationship to succeed.

Bitterness can kill your relationship and will also kill the person who feels it. So take a deep breath and forget the resentments and grudges you hold.

When two people are in it for the long run, then nothing can stop their relationship from succeeded. You can always bring back the love you have lost by working on it. If two people want to stay together and have a future without letting stupid things ruin their relationship, then they can do just that.

Always remember a healthy relationship depends on trust, love for one another and equal respect. Keep your relationship as your first priority, make time for one another, let go of grudges and work out your problems. These are the tips for a healthy and loving relationship.
