Do you ever have the feeling that you only see your partner on rare occasions, and then only when you're too exhausted to talk?
For example, what if your schedules chance to coincide? So many things need to be done, from work meals to school field trips and sports practice to dinner with friends to homework supervision to housework and so on. Just to have some quality time with your partner, do you feel the need to plan a special night out together? When are you awake and not asleep?
If this is you, then these ideas for keeping each other close in spirit, even if you can't be physically close all the time, are sure to be helpful to you.
Our lives are made up of the seemingly insignificant details that we must communicate and share. You can express your sentiments in a variety of ways, including:
Love letter for a birthday A letter has a certain gravitas about it. Love letters are something my husband and I have done for each other for many years now. I believe I first read that in an article about Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise together in a magazine.
Apparently, they used to do this as a cheap alternative to pricey gifts. They didn't last, but it has become one of our favorite parts of our birthday parties despite the fact that their marriage didn't work out.
It's a sweet gesture to make a list of all the things you admire about your partner and present it to them as a gift. In many circumstances, it's better than any present you could ever hope to receive and something you'll value long after the occasion has passed.
If you have children, you may do this for them as well and they will never doubt your love for them. It isn't necessary to wait until your loved one's birthday to write them a letter expressing your feelings — you may do it at any time.
Take a moment to reflect on your day. We try to eat dinner together as a family as much as possible and take turns telling one other about our days. It's a family affair, even for our 2-1/2-year-old. Now, instead of talking about what he's seen, he's discussing what he has done.
On top of that, we take turns naming the highlights and lowlights of the day. It can be helpful to take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of the day.
You should toast your partner's achievements with a glass of champagne or a high five. Make it a collaborative celebration, no matter how big or small the success is.
Let your partner know how impressed you are with them. When someone tells you that they're proud of you, you'll be happy to hear it.
As a parent, never underestimate the power of a hug; teach your children to reciprocate. For my five-year-old kid, hugs are the best. He enjoys both giving and receiving them. When he senses that someone is in need of a 'Jack hug,' he will go ahead and give them one without first asking if they'd like one.
Send them a photo that means a lot to you, along with a note explaining why it's so special to you. In a new sort of greeting card, you can put your own photo on the front and write whatever message you want on the inside.
Share a story or anecdote. A film, a CD, a magazine article, or a short narrative could all fit this description. Share your thoughts on what you've read or seen and why. And make a habit of it.
A word of praise. Make sure you don't miss out on the opportunity to offer one of these dependable mood enhancers to someone you care about. Alternatively, you might write them down on a small piece of paper and tuck them somewhere for your loved one to discover.
Dancing. Getting up and dancing around the living room for five minutes or less, to a music you both appreciate, is a quick and easy approach to reestablish physical contact between you.
You can have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on your preferences.
Intuitive actions. It's a beautiful approach to show your loved one that you understand what they are going through and that they have your support if you do something unexpected.
You will be repaid many times over for your effort if you take the time to show your lover how much you love them. Start loving today!
