How do you strenghten a struggling relationship

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 4 months. He recently came to me and said that he thinks we should take a break and strengthen our friendship before continuing our relationship? Is there anything he and I could to try and strengthen both...

our friendship and our relationship without having to take a break?

yes, you should do what only friends would do for while but still be in a relationship. which means no kissing or anything in a relationship like that. Then once you guys have accomplished that you can work on strenthening you relation ship.

To be honest with you, doesnt sound like you have much of a relationship anymore to strengthen. I mean usually when 1 person wants to take a break from the relationship, thats not a good sign. After 4 mos of dating now hes telling you, you need to strengthen your friendship? A relationship should have that as its foundation first! Anyone who says we should take a break is telling you they want OUT of the relationship. Whether you want to believe that or not, its the truth! If he still love/cared about you, he wouldnt need to take any kind of break. You can work on the strengthening the relationship still being a couple, you dont need to take a break to do it! Taking a break is just a nice way of saying, lets just be friends!

DONT give him a BREAK it either means he wants to break up or he wants to SKREW someone eles
