Make space be ok.

I love being around my husband. He makes me laugh, he’s kind, he’s a great listener. I also love time to myself. And space should be a-ok in love.

In solid relationships, space is a healthy thing. It means that the two of you can exist separately from each other for a bit and come back together just as connected as you were when you left.

Unfortunately, when you’re in rougher seasons in your relationship, space can look like disconnection… or even rejection. Distance in relationships can get weaponized or used as a way to leave each other out of your lives. And that’s not a good thing.

Instead, you want to work to make space a safe thing and work to have time apart be something that makes you long for reconnecting, and filling each other in on what you missed.

Take the time this week to talk about space. Do you need more? Do you need less? Do you get worried or anxious during times apart? Do you return back together with caution or tension?

Do the work to make space safe in your relationship and celebrate the coming back together.

You got this,

-A
