  • 5 ideas to overcome the first vacation as a couple

The summer has made it clear that being transfixed with his mouth open can happen even to

Ben Affleck,

without this being the most advisable for sexual survival.

Even if it happens aboard a glamorous yacht gliding down the Seine River with the dazzling Jennifer Lopez during their honeymoon.

It is not the most embarrassing thing that can happen to one, but it is an indication of that excess of confidence that anticipates routine.

Before continuing to lower their guard, some couples prefer to put some ground in between.

Just three weeks after their wedding in Las Vegas, Ben and JLo decided on physical distancing due to their professional schedules, which, according to their surroundings, could be very

therapeutic.

She stayed in Europe and he returned to the United States.

After a few days, Ben and JLo were seen again, and even more lovebirds, on the streets of Santa Monica.

miss each other and more

Miss each other the same as we missed each other before.

It's the old trick that Kiko Veneno already sang to make

us realize how much we love each other.

Now, let's get down to earth.

Without agenda excuses, without the millions of the mythical couple, does spending a few days apart serve to fan the flame of love in ordinary people?

Does it strengthen the relationship?

We have asked

Ana Castro Liz,

psychologist and sexologist, if the marriage commitment really harmonizes well with this idea.

"Giving yourself time makes it easier to

reflect

on what motivates the differences that may exist in a couple and assess whether they are excessively serious or how to resolve them for the benefit of both," she replies, supporting the famous couple's decision.

Search for causes

Before we will have to act honestly and assess what leads us to desire that respite.

Is it a lack of understanding or is it the affections that are

under suspicion?

"It is not the same -says the psychologist- taking time for not knowing how to accommodate differences with respect to customs, tastes or preferences, than not being sure of feelings or having been the victim of betrayal or infidelity".

The distance not only gives that nostalgia that Kiko Veneno sang, but also objectivity.

"It will make it easier to learn from the mistake and

value what you have

for or against continuing together. A temporary break may be the necessary adjustment to really know what you want and who," adds Castro Liz.

Looking at the future

It is not a break from the marriage, but a vital truce for the future of the relationship that will relieve stress, stop an escalation of tension in the home or put an end to accumulated sadness.

The separation will

even facilitate forgiveness,

if there is a reason, to resume living together in a healthier, calmer and less resentful way.

It is stepping aside from the road to take the right direction.

It seems risky, but if there is love, it will withstand the situation.

For the plan to be therapeutic, Castro Liz advises setting some guidelines, such as setting

how long it will last and clarifying what motivation motivates each one.

"It is supposed to be a reflective period that one takes as if it were a spiritual retreat. In it, each one will realize individual failures and how to solve them. Confidence is put to the test, but, above all, what everyone feels.

He warns that what cannot be pretended is to control in the distance how the couple is going to function.

Therefore, his advice is

to restrict communication.

"You must take your distance and only talk to each other what is fair and necessary. Otherwise, it would not do any good."
