How to reconnect again with your partner when you have disconnected
- Deciding how important that relationship is to you.
- The commitment you have made to each other
- Why did I fall in love with you in the first place
- Your intention, your own mindset.
- Focussing on how loving your partner is, find the love in that.
- What you focus on is what you will attract more of. Focusing on the positives.

Communication is the key to a happy loving relationship of 30 years. Early on in Julie’s relationship, she discovered the 3 Types of relationships and that was something to strive for, the interdependent relationship.
3 Types of Relationships
- Independent: Not connected to your partner
- Interdependent: Be together and have your own identity. Love each deeply and you can have your own separate things going on, coupled with trust.
- Co-dependent: Too reliant on your partner
