Fresh Starts

It’s a New Year and you want a new You, a new Us. It’s time to dust off those tried-and-true connection activities.

We're busy with the day to day of our lives taking care of family, career, and the to-do lists. We need to get back to the basics with our partners who we’ve been unintentionally neglecting. It may be cold outside, but it doesn’t need to be cold between the two of you. 

Some tried and true basics for connection include:

Your Smile – When your hunny walks through the door, give them a huge smile. You know the kind that reaches your eyes. Show that you’re genuinely happy to see them. They are your person, and you are theirs. Both of you can feel the warmth of a smile.

Don’t walk… Run or skip – Show your favorite person that you are happy to see them and have them part of your life. Our hearts skip a beat when people are genuinely excited to see us. Run or skip to them with that smile and go in for our next tried and true connector. 

Warm Embrace (Hug) – The internet is buzzing with how many hugs people need to feel valued or loved. For couples, meaningful hugs that last at least 10 seconds plus are best. Take time to lean into the connection, some may even melt into the connection. You need this in your life! Don’t be shy.

It’s in the kiss – No quick pecks. Let’s do a series of kisses followed by a long passionate kiss. Yes! Woo. We will be rushing through dinner tonight. 

I hope you Dance – Cue the music before you walk in the door. Ask your partner to rock with you tonight for old-time's sake. Nothing like a quick slow dance to make each other smile and lean into each other. This may lead to other activities of connection that we will not discuss at this time.

Bonus: Apologize – if things haven’t been the best lately. Say, “Things have not been the best lately, but we will get through this together!” and do all of the above. It takes one spark to move your relationship forward. Don’t miss it.

Connection is subtle, it’s simple, it’s what you need to keep going.  It will make lasting memories and add deposits to each of your love banks.

I challenge you to do this at least once a week to have a better connection with your partner because a couple that plays together, stays together.
