- Get up earlier. Rise 10 mins before your spouse, put on the coffee, throw together a nice breakfast, pack a lunch etc.
- Kiss and mean it. Forget about the 1/2 kiss as you are rushing out the door. Stop, look into your love’s eyes and THEN kiss.
- Ask. Take an interest what your spouse cares about. Ask questions about it and pay attention to the answer.
- Don’t ask. Some things are better left unsaid. Gaining clarification is one thing, interrogating is another.
- Simply touch. Foot massages, holding hands, hugs…
- Let go and let them. Shift the focus from trying to change your spouse (”I am right”) to receiving and knowing the essence of your spouse.
- Compliment with sincerity. Cut out the fluff and let them know what you appreciate about them, how they inspire you and how they make you smile.
- Trust the intention. Instead of fretting about the result, trust and appreciate that your spouse’s intention comes from love.
- Be positive. Besides staying positive yourself, find ways to help bring positive emotions to your spouse.
- Stay present. What happened in the past should stay there. Show appreciation to your spouse for what is happening in this moment.
