Connecting Conversations
Sometimes a great question is all you need to start a meaningful conversation :)
This weekend, try asking your significant other:
What can we laugh at now that once felt daunting in our relationship?
What do you regret not doing when you were a teenager?
How do I show that I love you without telling you?
Mini-Date: Communication Booster
Download this free mini date I put together for you with communication themed questions. You can keep it on your phone and pull it out whenever you two have 30 minutes of uninterrupted time together (car rides are great)
The Love Lab: Attention Attention
It’s hard to connect with your significant other when you’re not paying attention, right?
Distraction is probably one of modern life’s most pressing interpersonal problems.
Willard F. Harley, Jr., a marriage counselor, author and radio show host, has come up with a “policy” he recommends to couples.
The Policy of Undivided Attention:
Give your spouse your undivided attention
a minimum of fifteen hours each week,
using the time to meet the emotional needs of
affection, sexual fulfillment, intimate conversation, and recreational companionship.
I don’t know that it has to be exactly 15 hours, but trying the above in some way certainly can’t hurt. Maybe you can do a test with a few hours blocks and build from there.
What’s the first step to giving undivided attention?
Put down your phones!
Here’s to making more attentive time in your relationship 👏
If you want to read more about Dr. Harvey's Policy of Undivided Attention, he lays it out here.
Don’t forget: Valentine’s is coming up!
Date Nights: Living Room Dancing - Great gift idea for laughter, connection & spending more quality time together.
