Connecting Conversations
Sometimes a great question is all you need to start a meaningful conversation :)
This weekend, try asking your significant other:
In what ways are you like your parents?
What is my best physical feature?
If there were no consequences, what's something illegal we could do together?
Have any questions that you’d suggest I include for future editions?
Reply to this email and let me know.
Date Night
Do you have a home project you’ve been putting off?
What about doing it with your partner and making it FUN?
This week, pick a simple, do-it-yourself project to work on together.
Sound like too much work?
By making it a date night event, you can change it from a boring task to memory-making fun!
DIY Date Night
The first step is to pick the project: do you already have a burning task to do?
If not, how about repainting a dresser, wallpapering a feature wall, or displaying your dinnerware with a simple open shelf (see image above)?
Pick up any materials necessary before date night.
Make an upbeat playlist to listen to, or for bonus points make a playlist with songs that represent your relationship story :)
Budget: $25+
If you’re still stumped on an idea, IKEA has some great suggestions.
Not only will you be getting something practical done, but these types of projects build lasting memories.
Not only will you be getting something practical done, but these types of projects build lasting memories because you’re taking on a “challenge” together and working as a team!
I’d love to know what project you end up doing together 🙌

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 committing to the above in some way makes so much sense. Maybe you can do a test with a few 15 minute 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.
That’s it for this week’s edition of The Spark :)
Put this edition’s ideas to work this weekend, and see first-hand how small, intentional acts can transform your relationship.
Keep the spark’s flying,
