Nurturing intimacy and a deep connection is achieved through communication and opening up to your partner. Only when each partner can communicate feelings, preferences, and expectations regarding intimacy.

If your goal is to increase intimacy in your relationship, you’ll need to take some steps to get there. Decide on a time in the future to have a conversation about your level of connection. The key is to establish a time to discuss progress for the sake of accountability.

You might think a deep connection translates to a thriving physical relationship and vice versa. While this can be the case, it’s not always true. Each couple experiences intimacy differently and it might vary between partners as well. This is why it is so important to talk about it!

To ensure you and your partner keep a healthy balance, talk with your partner about expectations and the reality of the choices you each make regarding your free time.

Free time is just that – time free from commitments, obligations, and requirements. Depending on the stage of life, there are factors that determine just how much free time you have. It is important to acknowledge that you probably can’t change the amount of time you have in the free category, but you can change how you choose to spend it.

Free time is self-defined and can be whatever you want it to be, and while you can’t change the amount of time you have you can change how you choose to spend it.

Free time is just that – time free from commitments, obligations, and requirements. It is self-defined and can be whatever you want it to be.

Recognising the role forgiveness plays in daily life, identifying its presence and its healing power can bring about significant changes in your relationship.

If you exaggerated the act of forgiving in your relationship for a period of time - even just a week - you may see how often it happens. Here’s an example: you forget to start the dishwasher after dinner and there are no clean coffee cups for your partner to have their morning cup of coffee... you take responsibility for your action and apologise. Your partner acknowledges your efforts and forgives you, and then you forgive yourself. By going through the amplified motions, you’ll see how effortlessly you already incorporate forgiveness into your relationship.
