It can offer a fresh start

When you’ve been together for a while, it can be difficult not to bring up the past. However, consistently rehashing past hurts can make it virtually impossible to move forward in a healthy way. By taking a break, you give you and your partner time to figure out whether or not you can truly get over what has happened. It can also give each of you time to figure out whether or not you’re both capable and ready for actual change.
