If nothing changed in your relationship, would you feel happy and fulfilled five years from now?

Over the years, the infatuation often gives way to living side by side as partners. In everyday life with children, a career and different leisure activities, you lose the connection.

  • Do you miss the laughter and lighthearted moments?
  • Do you miss the romantic spontaneity?
  • Do you have enough personal space and freedom?
  • Do you feel neclected and unappreciated?
  • Do you feel disregarded?
  • Do you often miss emotional support?
