How Do You Restore Feelings in a Relationship?
If you are interested in trying to revive your relationship, there are ways to do so.
Ask yourself what was different.
Did you treat one another the way you do now?
If those traits matter most, plan for more fun together by exploring new activities in an exciting way.
Often, it’s these same qualities that made you fall in love with your partner.
Don’t forget what it felt like for them to be your person.
Build a Culture of Appreciation and Respect
We all have our flaws.
Rather than focusing on your partners shortcomings, learn to accept them.
And whenever you might express the things you cherish about your partner verify to do so.

Is It OK to Lose Feelings in a Relationship?
You might find yourself wondering if you might lose feelings for someone you love.
You might wonder if you actually loved them in the first place.
It’s totally normal to have times when you feel more or less in love with your partner.
You may still “love” your partner, and you may still want it to work with them.
But for some reason, it seems inaccessible.
The question then becomes should you stay in a relationship if you lose feelings?
Only you’re able to decide which path is right for you.
Simply going to therapy and listening throughout the session won’t be enough.
You’ll need to take the recommended steps your therapist suggests and look for places to make said changes.
If you’re unwilling to put the work in, consider meeting with a counselor on your own.
They can help you make a decision and help you process how you’re able to move forward.
Your partner deserves a relationship partner with whom they can share love.
Nothing short of that will do because they are worthy of a life filled with joy and affection.
