Reconnecting is essential before trying to fix the issues in a relationship.

Men and women have different approaches to relationships, with men focusing on fixing problems and women prioritizing emotional connection.

Reconnecting can be done through simple gestures, such as sending texts or sharing articles or photos related to the spouse's interests.

Men should focus on personal growth and becoming the best version of themselves to create a new and sustainable relationship.
