Connecting Conversations
Sometimes a great question is all you need to start a meaningful conversation :)
This weekend, try asking your significant other:
What has been your greatest source of excitement lately?
How can we be better partners when it comes to decision making?
What do you regret not doing when you were a teenager?
Thoughtful Text Idea
Send your partner a quick text using the following prompt:
I wanted to thank you for [something they did in the past 7 days]. It really made me feel [briefly describe the positive feeling(s) you experienced as a result]. I love you.
For example:
Thank you for making lunch for me last Friday. It really made me feel taken care of, loved and FULL - yummy :). I loveeee you!
Date Night Idea: Memory Lane Magic
When I look back at old photos, I’m always flooded with memories.
They bring back energy, emotions and reminders of good times.
Guess that’s why I’m also a photographer (check out my free nature photos)
So for this date night idea, let’s make it all about the pics 📸
No matter how long you’ve been together, I bet you’ve taken a few photos of you and your partner, right?
For those who’ve been together for a long time, you may want to split this idea into several date nights over the year.
After a nice dinner, grab a glass of something yummy and start going through the photos together - agree on a year (ie 2015) and start looking through those photos.
If you can, airplay them to your TV or computer for a more immersive experience :)
The simple act of going through them together might be enough to spark conversations and re-experience the highs of those moments together.
Here’s what I suggest if you want to keep going:
Choose one year/season/trip and create a collage that represents that period
Canva has some great (free) templates to make these look professional
If you want to prepare ahead, you can combine them all in a slideshow with music
Don’t worry about finishing! If you find yourselves talking more about the memories themselves, postpone the collage and keep the conversation going
Optional: If you want you can use one of the many online photo book companies to turn this date night into a coffee table momento :)
