depends what the problem is really, if you can't work it out while you're together though taking a break will probably make things worse. Taking a break and then getting back together and wondering if and who you partner was with while you were apart can add to problems

I would never advise or suggest anything to any couple unless they really pressed me to, but really then I would likely just say,weigh up the plusses and minuses of being together.Then prioritise them.
Sometimes couples can set out to find all that attracted them to each other in the first place. Kind of like courting each other again.

However, it really does depend on the problem/s and if it's a problem that has been there a while or likely to recur,then a break (as Niamh says and who is far better placed to make a comment on this than me),is only likely going to make things worse.

Sadly if all trust is gone it's likely best to walk away.
