The flowers wilt.
The reservations pass.
The cards are tucked away.

For many couples, the days after Valentine’s Day feel quieter—but also revealing. Without the holiday glow, what remains is the relationship as it truly is.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a test.

Many couples who seek help are not in an open crisis. They are parenting. Working. Paying bills. Showing up. From the outside, things look “fine.” Inside the relationship, though, something feels thin. Conversations turn tense. Repair takes days instead of minutes.
