Relationship Growth Activity Worksheet

Relationships can be challenging at times. There are many obstacles a couple faces throughout the course of their partnership. It is not uncommon for a couple to fall out of sync with each other. Whether it is dishonesty, unfaithfulness, or just troubles with managing work and family, every long-term couple will face its trials.

Every relationship faces trials, but those trials do not mark the end of the relationship. It is possible for a couple to recover from a challenging time. The couple can grow stronger and closer to each other. A great first step to recovering from challenges in a relationship is to establish a plan for recovery. The plan of recovery should consist of 3 key values: trust, commitment and acceptance.
