1. Give your partner a compliment. Tell them you think they are a great parent, lover, or partner. Compliment their clothing or appearance. Pick out a personality characteristic that you find admirable and let them know. It is likely you will take them by surprise and they will think back on the unexpected warm feeling during the day.
2. Smile more at your partner. Letting them see that you are happy with them can be a great boost!
3. Let your partner know you are thinking about them. Send a quick email or text, make a brief call, or throw a note in their lunch or brief case. The quick connection can help keep the proverbial fire burning through out the day even through you are apart.
4. Arrange to sit down for a dinner together. Schedules can get crazy but make time. Topic ideas at dinner: find out about their day and don’t skip on the details. Try to listen to what they are saying and don’t think about what you are going to say next. Most of us are guilty of doing it!
5. Try to go to bed at the same time. It can be a challenge but it will create a sense of togetherness.
