It is important to create a
connection ritual that will
provide you with new ways
to share your thoughts,
dreams, feelings, desires,
fantasies, needs, and love
for each other. This could
be a weekly date night, as
long as you don’t end up in
a routine that is stagnant.
So many couples end up
just using date night as a
time to go to dinner and
talk about work and the
children. There is so much
more you could be doing!
I highly suggest you put
aside any business on
date nights. You can have
another set time where
you discuss these topics.
Have a time set aside
devoted to growing your
relationship. This doesn’t
require money or even a
great deal of time. There
are ways to incorporate this
into any relationship. This
time you set aside for each
other allows you to focus
your attention only on each
other. It also provides an
environment for romantic
feelings to build leading
to increased intimacy and
passion. Dates do not have
to be extravagant. The
important thing is that you
make spending quality time
together a priority. Try new
things as a couple, don’t be
not the same person you
were when the relationship
started. I encourage you
to stay curious about your
partner, there is always
something new to learn.
This keeps your relationship
fresh and exciting. Create a
safe space to encourage
each other to share at a
deeper level while offering
support and building a
stronger bond between the
two of you. I encourage
you to set time aside to be
present, give your partner
your full attention. Make this
a time you look forward to.
Spend time remembering
the past. What was it like
when you first fell in love?
I encourage you to stay

afraid to venture outside of
the box. If you don’t like the
new experience, it will give
you a memory to talk about
in the future. We are all
busy so make time to make
your relationship a priority.
We grow and change as
people all the time! You are
What are some of your
favorite memories as a
couple? Sharing those
memories together elicits
positive feelings and is
a great way to increase
emotional intimacy. The
honeymoon phase of a
relationship is full of those
“feel good” hormones.

Great relationships are
more than just the absence
of problems. They take
intention, the right attitude,
commitment, and effort, but
the results are worth it! We
all long for closeness and
emotional connection with
our partner. Relationships
are a team effort and are
created based on choices
you make every day that
allow you to grow and
learn
together
making
your relationship a priority.
Emotional intimacy is a
key factor in the health
of a relationship. It is a
bond where two people
feel secure, loved, and
trust each other. Good
communication is a major
factor in creating and
maintaining this intimacy.
