subject: Know The Little Details That Make Our Relationship In Spark [print this page] Did you ever have to catch up with your partner infrequently, often late at night when you're too tired to speak? Or when times happen to both of you not collide? There are lunches, field trips, sports, dinner with friends, the duties of care, household chores and the list continues.
If this sounds like you then I am sure you will enjoy these tips to keep each other close at heart, but you cannot always be as physically close as you want.
Trying to communicate and share the little things that make the relationship in spark. Here are some easy 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 to each other's birthday. I think I picked up a magazine article about Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Apparently it is something that used to do instead of expensive gifts. Obviously, it worked for our marriage, but we found that it has become part of our birthday celebrations I enjoy most.
Write down all the things you love about the other person and then give it to them is very personal and thoughtful to do. In many cases it is better than any gift you could imagine and something to appreciate and value even if the birthday is a distant memory. You can do it for your children too, if you have any and they never have to doubt that you love them. Of course, you do not have to wait until their birthday to come to just send them a letter - anytime is a good time to tell them how you feel about them.
2. Sit down and talk about your day. When both of you sat at the table to eat your evening meal, you should take turns talking about what you did today. Even the two and half years old baby can join and have a long talk and the things you did today, but both of you will get the hang of it. The other things you can do are to take turns for instance, name the best and worst things that happened that day. Sometimes, there are so many things happen every day and this help you pause and reflect on what were the lights and wicks of the relationship.
