Do you ever find yourself wrapped up in the logistics and monotony of life to the point that you are too busy to have fun? It’s time to take some time out to explore ideas that will infuse some happiness into your relationship. It’s time to bring the fun back, and create some relationship resolutions to keep your love on track.
Connect with technology
We are all distracted by and sometimes addicted to our phones, computers and social media. We get so drawn into technology that it pulls us out of the present, where we could be interacting with the people we love. Instead of using our devices to disconnect, use them to connect. Do you find yourself on your phone when you are at dinner with your mate? Instead, use your phone and send your partner a romantic text message.
Schedule quality time
It is very easy for us to get caught up in our jobs, household chores, children, etc. Often it’s your primary relationship that takes the hit in all this chaos. Have you realized that the two of you have not talked about how much you love or adore one another in a long time? While these things can be common in relationships, they do not allow for the type of quality time that couples need to feel truly connected. Plan a weekly or monthly date night so you can communicate effectively.
Evaluate, adjust and improve
When you build a business, you stop frequently to evaluate progress and makes changes accordingly. Relationships work in very much the same way. It is important to take stock of how your relationship is doing. Are you happy with the level of intimacy and time spent together?
Do you feel like you handle conflict efficiently? Make a resolution to assess these things and more, make adjustments and improvements as needed.
Relationship resolutions are not all-or-nothing propositions. Pick the ones you think you can achieve; have fun with them; resolve to try harder, do better and be closer.
Invest time and energy into your partnership and you will be rewarded.
