wpadminToo often, couples lose touch with each other, then wonder what happened. What keeps the ‘in love sparkles’ going, is a feeling of being connected. So stop and think about it? What are the little daily habits that make you feel connected? Or do you do specific things on purpose, knowing it is essential to the well-being of your relationship?
The reason this came to mind today was that I was torn between meeting my partner for our daily walk in the ocean, and staying home to keep working on my website and writing projects. But in just about a nano-second, I knew that the fact that we both make our daily walks a priority is a primary reason we are still crazy in love with each other.
What can you do to stay connected? Here are some ideas.
- Morning Naked Hug (this keeps the sexual connection all day, even if you don’t have time to make love)
- Say “I love you,” throughout the day. (Meaning during the time you are together.)
- Share sexy kisses throughout the day.
- While watching TV together, give each other foot and hand rubs. To make it easier, keep a pretty basket by the sofa with lotions.
- Whenever you share a drink, whether it’s coffee, tea, juice, wine, or tequila, look each other in the eyes and clink glasses or cups.
- Leave notes and cards around for your partner to find.
- Go for an after-dinner walk each evening that the weather allows.
- Go to your favorite evening spot once a week, even if it’s just for a drink. (A date is a date, no matter what you do or how much you spend.)
- Favorite activities that make you feel playful.
- And of course, make love every day. It doesn’t have to be intercourse, but it should be physical intimacy, if only a very long, deep kiss, which often leads to ‘more.’
Share your suggestions for staying emotionally and physically connected with your partner and see where the conversation leads. It could be one of the most important conversations you’ll ever have.
