You’re probably familiar with the old saying, once bitten, twice shy. It describes a painful uncertainty many of us feel every day as we try to engage with other people. Acts of betrayal from our pasts can lead us into long cycles of wariness and mistrust. An inability to trust wisely can lead us to loneliness and isolation, or worse - putting our trust in the wrong people too easily. The good news is that the ability to trust is both a choice and a skill that you can develop.

While turbulence in any relationship is of course normal, long-term feelings of neglect or lack of romance in a relationship are not. The secret to keeping love alive is to show concretely that you’re trying when love is new. Partners often wonder why their relationship is failing, where those loving feelings went, or why they feel unappreciated by their partner. This usually happens after the “honeymoon period”. In some cases, couples may not have a relationship free from romance for years.
