Connecting Conversations

Sometimes a great question is all you need to start a meaningful conversation :)

This weekend, try asking your significant other:

• Who is the most joyful person you know? What do you admire about them?

• What was something special/different about your high school or college graduation?

• What important lesson have you learned from a conflict we had?

Date Night Idea

Let’s get limber with this easy & fun home date idea.

Try a couple yoga videos at home together and see who can perform the moves & stretches the best. There are lots of free videos on Youtube covering yoga for couples you can check out.

Get some blankets (or yoga mats if you have them), some candles / incense, or essential oils to up the mood (optional) and open the Youtube app on your smart TV.

Go through a couple videos together and be sure to discuss what moves you like vs didn’t like either during or after.

If you want to up the spiciness factor clothing can be optional 😉 

Turning Towards or Away?

“In the small, everyday moments of life together, relationship masters are much more responsive to their partner’s attempts to engage with them.

Over time, all of the seemingly insignificant moments of daily life in a relationship turn into something of immense importance. Dr. John Gottman identified four different responses that people typically utilize when their partner sends an emotional bid in their direction. Each can either support or tear down a relationship’s sense of togetherness and security.

When we receive an emotional bid, we can choose to:

1. Turn toward our partner

2. Turn enthusiastically toward our partner

3. Turn away from our partner

4. Turn against our partner”
