6 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK FOR A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
CHECK IN
I know this term has somewhat of a taboo attached to it since “check-ins” typically occur at work with your boss and or team members but, hear me out. Having a regular check in with your spouse will ensure your communication stays on point. Schedule a time where you can sit down without any distractions and tune into one another. You can cover topics that best suit your relationship but if you’re looking for some ideas start with : how can I show up for you this week? Is there anything I can do to make you feel more loved? Are we splitting house responsibilities evenly? I know I’ve been over my head in work, how can we spend some quality time together? Etc.
DO SOMETHING YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE FIRST DATING
There’s nothing like a little nostalgia to bring back the butterflies. So ask yourself, what is something you and your partner did when you first started dating that you knowwould set the chemistry spark on fire? Whether it’s an inside joke, a silly ritual or a specific meal – go back to your roots and enjoy the walk down memory lane.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
One thing that Robby and I do every day ,without fail, is ask each other how was your day? While you may be thinking – wow chels what a riveting piece of advice– I’m going to tell you how those four little words can be a game changer.
Instead of rattling off the question as if you were a robot, ask with the question with the intention of L-I-S-T-E-N-I-N-G to your partner’s response. Once they dish the details of their day, ask follow up questions or share your thoughts. The daily conversation flow will reflect genuine interest and care.
GO TO FUNKY TOWN
Yup.
I said it.
I don’t care if you have to color code it into your calendar – make it happen. OK? Ok. You can thank me later for this reminder. I know we all get sucked into our busy day to day but intimacy with your partner is a crucial factor to a healthy relationship.
IS IT TOO LATE TO SAY SORRY
No, no it isn’t.
I know some of us would rather lay on rail road tracks than acknowledge we were in the wrong but guess what sister it’s time to suit up and take ownership of your actions. When you do utter the words I’m sorry for ____do so in a genuine way so your counterpart knows that you recognize and prioritize their feelings. Like you, your significant other, craves to feel seen and appreciated and expressing a sincerely apology before shit hits the fan is one way to ensure they feel cared for.
CHEERS TO EVERYTHING
Whoever said you need a “reason” to celebrate is well, they are wrong. You don’t need to wait for an anniversary or job promotion to pop a bottle or create the vibes for a special night at home. Add a little spice to your relationship and simply celebrate the fact that you two are still going strong. There are so many beautiful reasons to celebrate so don’t let them slip away!!
