Sharing gratitude and love with those who mean the world to you is great for the soul.
Here are some ways to connect with your partner.
Connection exercises that help enhance intimacy:
- Send thoughtful texts twice per week.
- Compliment your partner every day.
- Tuck a love note in your partner’s car, briefcase, or bag.
- Cuddle up with each other.
- Place your hand on each other’s heart and stare into each other’s eyes.
- Retell the story of how you met, your wedding day, or a special moment.
- Shower together.
- Surprise each other with a schedule change.
- Flirt with each other.
- Kiss when you greet each other.
Do little things to make your partner show that you care: take their car for a wash, warm their towel for them, rub their feet, pick up their favorite snack, leave sticky love notes, do a chore for them.
Set the stage
- Send a text stating that you desire to connect later that day or evening.
- Engage in more lengthy foreplay to help get in the mood.
- Hug and hold each other more.
- Light a candle, put your favorite music on, or have a romantic dinner at home.
Here are some ideas to share love with your loved ones.
- Place a supportive note in your child’s lunch box or call an old friend to tell them you were thinking of them.
- Surprise a friend by taking them out to lunch or buying them flowers.
- Spend quality time with each individual child doing something special.
- Drop by and visit an older family member or offer to do a chore that will help them out.
- Send a supportive letter or card in the mail.
Perform random acts of kindness throughout the day. You never know who might benefit or need that random act of kindness and you will make someone’s day.
