You are feeling a little out of sorts as time has passed and you and your partner are a little nervous about things this time around. After all you have been through, you certainly don’t want to make the same mistakes and cause more distance, hurt and pain.

Relax, obviously your love for each other has been tested but you both agree that saving your relationship or getting back together is the right thing to do. It is going to take a concentrated and committed effort from both partners in order to grow the relationship, heal the wounds and move forward as a strong couple. Start with the 6 tips outlined below to lay the foundation towards bridging the gap and rebuilding the intimacy you both desire.

1. Communicate with each other. Both partners need to remember that neither of you can read minds. Always let your partner know what your feelings are. Talk about your individual goals as well as your goals as a couple and how they will be achieved. This will ensure that you are both on the same page and that both of you are getting what you need from each other and the relationship.

2. Honesty.  Demand the truth from each other at all times. It is better than the mind games a lot of couples engage in. When you are open and honest there is no room for second guessing. This lessens the opportunity for misunderstanding over misinterpretations. The longer it takes to establish honesty the longer the road to happiness in your relationship will be.

3. Trust each other.  Trust much like honesty is what helps a relationship to grow into a healthy one and allows for a deeper level of commitment and intimacy. Without trust, it is only a matter of time before a relationship start to fall apart.

4. Spend time together alone. In order for a relationship to flourish plan on spending quality time with each other without friends and family. When you know your partner well enough, intimacy will come much easier when others aren’t interfering and getting in the way.

5. Romance.  Plan romantic dates together. Plan individual surprises. Short weekend trips can eliminate stress and allow you to discover new things together as well as learn new things about each other. Couples who took trips together reportedly are happier overall than those who don’t.

6. Accommodating.  You’ll need a little give and take in your relationship. If you expect your partner to participate with you when they’re not interested in the activity, then you should be willing to do something with them that you’re not interested in. Give and take is an excellent way to show support for your partner and build intimacy in your relationship.
