Is it good to take a break from your relationship?

Kelley Nele, a sex and relationship educator, shared with Briefly News that a break from a relationship won't help an individual grow, but if they're intentional about it, growth can occur.

"People can use this time to reflect and work on personal issues such as learning how to regulate one’s emotions. Doing all of this can aid in becoming a better version of yourself, which will contribute to the success of your relationship once it starts again."
