Come Back Together With A Mission Statement

Before deciding to come back together, create a mission statement for your relationship. If you’ve been seeing a therapist, they can help you create this. This is a thorough and clear statement on things like, how you’ll handle conflict, how you’ll react when you feel triggered, what behaviors are no longer allowed in the relationship and similar directives.
One mistake too many couples make is thinking all they need to do is take time apart, but not be intentional about how they spend that time. That puts you at risk of going back to the same relationship you took a break from. If a break is going to work, then it’s going to feel like work.
