More Danish people than ever before live without a partner.

This is shown by statistics from Denmark's Statistics.

Today, nearly 4 out of 10 Danes are single, and the number has been steadily increasing since the mid-1980s.

Amalie Pedersen is a dating coach and sexologist and has both clients who are in a relationship and those who are single. She observes that it is because there is no longer the same pressure to be in a relationship with a partner.

- I don't think that life in general is always satisfying in a relationship. People have gained a greater freedom to choose what they want, whether it's a focus on career, children, starting a family, or being oneself.

Here she guides you to a better love life whether you are in a relationship, happy being single, or seeking a partner.

In her clinic in Aabenraa, Amalie Pedersen meets many who need help with communication, which is often problematic, or trust issues, such as infidelity.

- The fact that I, as a third party, ask the questions, it makes it easier to have a conversation where one does not have to go on the attack or defense. One listens in a different way, she says.

The best advice she can give to those who wish to maintain their relationship is to be loving:

- To choose love every day, it gives love better conditions.

In addition to couples, singles also come to Amalie Pedersen's clinic who wish to find a partner, and there have been more of them. Here she talks with clients about how they can best create good conditions for love.

- If one has experienced a breakup, we do crisis and grief work, and then I talk to them about how to move on, and how to find love for oneself.

It is just as important to find love for oneself as it is to find love in a relationship, she says. Her best advice for those who wish to find a partner is to understand oneself:

- So you seek love from a clean place. If you seek love in sorrow, it is not always what holds. So you seek love on security, and it is not always that it holds for a longer relationship.

Therefore, she recommends working on oneself and finding everything that one really enjoys about oneself:

- You become a better version of yourself, and so you can also much better give something to a partner.

Amalie Pedersen, however, also points out that one can indeed live very happily and satisfactorily as a single person. And if you enjoy single life and wish to have an even higher quality of life, she has a few good tips for what you can do:

- Focus on doing some good things that you really enjoy. And if you do a lot of it, you will find joy in your life even alone.

Today is Valentine's Day, and it is a day that focuses on love. Therefore, she also recommends that singles use this day to do a lot of good for themselves:

- Give yourself a massage, or make a good meal for yourself, without feeling like you are alone. Because you certainly have a lot of people in your life who care about you.
