Having Short ‘Cool-Off’ Periods In Your Marriage May Actually Help Your Relationship To Stay Longer

The beginnings of every relationship is just the best part. Many couples who have been in many years of relationship would agree to this. This is the time when the two of you can’t get enough of each other, and everyday is just another chance for you to enjoy each other’s company and discover how much you love each other so dearly. It’s as if 24 hours in a day is not enough to show your love and admiration to your special someone.

Unfortunately, there might come a time in your relationship that you and your partner want to figure some things out alone. While it is true that couples can get through the obstacles in their lives together, sometimes the feeling of love is not enough to settle the problems. This is why there are couples who have already come up with the term “cool off” to get their much needed time and space by their own. When a married couple decides to have a cool off, there is this challenge if the two of them would like to give their relationship another chance to grow stronger, or maybe to simply bail out of a life filled with regret.


Calling For A Cool Off Does Not Necessarily Mean That You Want To Break Up

Other people think that when their partners ask them for a cool-off, it means that they are already ending whatever they have between them. It makes them confused about the purpose of their relationship, and leaves them uncertainty if things will be okay again. However, this is often a misinterpretation because the mere fact that their partners are asking for a cool off and not an official breakup should be a hint that they are not over them just yet. They just want some time to process their thoughts and feelings. After which, they can be ready to talk again when the situation is calm.

Asking for a cool off can also be a way to protect your partner from unnecessary heartaches because when you try to stay with each other when there is clear tension, there is a chance that you will say something hurtful that you will deeply regret later on.

Some people don’t want this to happen, so they decide to take a break and then come back to fix the problem when they get their heads straight. It is not like you are trying to access a website such as and suddenly have a change of heart to visit other sites instead.

When The Cool Off Brings The Two Of You To Call It Quits

A cool off period agreed upon by both parties can take a couple of days or weeks. The longer the cool off, the more they realize how much they mean to each other. The couple may also want to take a trip down the memory lane and reminisce all the good times that they had as they tied the knot. All those stressful but fulfilling wedding preparations that led to a moment of loving and caring, these are just some of the things that a married couple should look back to.

Although, some people can also realize other things while in a cool off. They could think that being in an intimate relationship with someone is not what they really need right now, or they are not ready to love again because of whatever bad experience they went through.
