Did you ever want to catch up with your partner and spend more time with him
, but you are often late at night and too tired to speak? Or when you have a hectic schedule? Do you think you need to make a date night to spend time alone with your other half? The time when you are not asleep?
If these sounds just like you, then i am sure you will enjoy these tips to keep your hearts close to each other, even if you are not always see each other the way you want to.
It's all about communicating and sharing the tiny things that make up our lives. Here are ten simple ways to make your feelings known:
1.Birthday love letter. There is something powerful about a letter. A few years ago my husband and I agreed to write a love letter for each other's birthday. I think I picked it up from a journal editorial about Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Apparently it's something they used to do in lieu of pricey presents. Obviously it didn't work for their marriage but we've found it's become the part of our birthday celebrations that they enjoy the most.
Writing down all the things that you love about the other person and then giving it to them is a personal and thoughtful thing to do. In plenty of cases its better than any gift you could possibly imagine and something to appreciate and cherish even when the birthday is a distant memory. You can do it for your children in case you have any and they will seldom need to doubt that you love them. Of work, you don't must wait until it is your loved ones birthday to send them a letter- anytime is a nice time to tell them the way you feel about them.
2.Sit down and speak about your day. When they can they sit down at the table to eat our evening meal and take it in turns to speak about what they did in our day. Even our six and a half year elderly joins in. For a long time they would speak about who they saw than what they did but now he's getting the hang of it. The other thing they take it in turns to do is name the best and worst things that happened that day. Sometimes a lot happens each day that it helps to pause and reflect on what were the highlights and low lights.
3.Celebrate all of your partner's successes with them- from a high four to a glass of champagne. Regardless of the scale of the success calls for, make it a joint celebration.
4.Permit yourself to be impressed by your partner and let them know. "I'm proud of you" is something that I think everyone loves being told by someone they care about.
5.Seldom underestimate the power of a hug- train your kids to hug you back. My four year elderly son Jack loves hugs. They loves giving them and getting them. Sometimes they will spontaneously hug someone if they feel they are a bit mournful.
