Do not wait for a sudden tragedy to strike before you remember you partner. We don't know what is going to happen in the future so we must cherish every day as if it were our last, starting from today. Once you are in the good habit of noticing, appreciating and celebrating your partner you will both reap the rewards.
We all lead busy lives. More than ever we are racing around like headless chickens. It's time to put aside some time and focus on our partner. It's about establishing a new habit. This is a habit that will deeply enrich the life you and your partner share together.
See what time you have available. Are you able to eat at least one meal a day together? When you were growing up probably 2 meals each day were spent together as a family. Wouldn't it be nice to recapture this?
If you can eat breakfast together each morning, put away the morning paper and enjoy each other's company. If you can manage your schedules to have your evening meals together most nights, turn off the television or radio.
If you have children (especially young children) are you able to hire a babysitter and go out on a date at least once a week? It's important you spend time together as a couple without your offspring. Seeing each other as people and not just as parents of your children is important.
Is there a shared interest you could take up together? If you have always wanted to learn how to ball-room dance, learn a foreign language or create something why not embark on this together? Couples with shared interests stay together longer.
Why not book a romantic weekend away? It doesn't have to be somewhere exotic, it could be in your own city. Not many of us actually participate and experience the many touristy things that are on our doorstep. You could discover and enjoy these experiences together.
Sometimes just enjoying each other's company is nice. You don't have to talk. Perhaps you could both read book your own books together in your lounge instead of turning on the television? Or you could go for a Sunday afternoon drive and enjoy the companionable silence.
The most important thing is that you do not take your partner for granted. It doesn't matter how you choose to remember your partner, as long as you do. This could be the most important thing you do for your relationship.
