It's a special day for most, teeming with flowers, chocolate
treats and heart-shaped trinkets... But for failing couples,
Valentine's Day looms like a dark cloud, serving as a bitter
reminder that the relationship is not all it was dreamt it to
be.
If Valentine's week has left you sitting on the byline of
your marriage, clutching to old memories and hopelessly lost for a
solution – it could be time to actively take steps towards
salvaging your marriage.
But what actually works? You've tried communicating
more, reinstating date night and even couples' therapy...
You've pulled out all of the hat tricks but to no avail.
In a last desperate attempt to save a relationship, it is
increasingly common for married couples to trial separation for a
period of time, taking a step away to reflect, contemplate, and
ideally, come to a mutual resolution – after all, they do say
that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
