Take Five Minutes Every Day To Connect With Your Spouse
How to revive your relationship in 5 Minutes starting today!
Life just keeps on moving and in the process, sucks you in until the day is completely gone. There will always be more to do. There will always be things that come up out of the blue – even if you try to plan for the unknown. It’s easy to put your love life on hold as you try to manage the new crisis such as getting a battery for your car because the old one gave it up today, finding a plumber to fix that leak that has gotten bigger and now ruined the carpet. Believe me when I tell you that every day life is full of unknowns.
Today, slow it all down and make a promise to do something for your relationship and love life each and every day. Take five and start a new ritual when your spouse comes home today. Put everything aside. Let the worries of the day disappear for just five minutes. You know that they really won’t go anywhere but you have to put your full focus into these take five minutes. Wrap your arms around the one you love and continue a tender, warm embrace. Sometimes that will be the best thing that has happened to your spouse all day.
Then find a quiet spot for the two of you and just listen to your spouse with all your attention and focus. Really listen. Resist the temptation to let your thoughts drift to what you need to do. The thing is that you don’t need to do anything but listen. Give them a chance to share. It will feel awkward at first but let there be silence for a few seconds until they get used to this. Then after you have shown your interest by asking questions or adding a great comment, take your turn to share.
You will be amazed at what this does for your relationship. Take five every day every day for the next 30 days and then you will see amazing results and a little more romance. Give it a full 30 days. Remember – it is only five minutes. You will set the tone for the whole evening, feel closer and connected, and working towards understanding each other more fully. Let me know what changes took place and how this improved your communication and more importantly how you and your spouse felt connected.
