Today’s small change to make in your relationship: Do Things Together.
It might sound obvious, but the key word here is together, which isn’t just proximity; it’s presence and focus.
You’d be surprised how many couples are operating their own lives in the same house, or in proximity to their partner… but together is a different story.
Put one another first. Schedule time to do something together, focused on each other, without distractions.
Instead of a “divide and conquer” approach to your relationship, stop putting so much focus on efficiency and just spend some time together—it can be completely mundane as long as you’re doing something together. Togetherness has its own function: meaning and connection.
Start a new hobby together. Brainstorm some ideas and create a list of shared interests. Start something you’ll both enjoy to bond, laugh, and play.
Create rituals in your relationship. Rituals are regularly occurring activities or traditions that you share as a couple which serve to strengthen your bond. They can be small things, like the way you greet each other and the way you wind down together in the evening. Or they can be big, like how you celebrate birthdays or major accomplishments.
