Remember the beginning of your relationship. Everything was a date, coffee, meals, laundry, then you get married and nothing is a date.

Somehow we move from being excited to spend time with our partner to being inconvenienced and giving up what we “want to do”.

1. Picnic
2. Go for a walk
3. Movie Night
4. Yoga/meditate
5. Volunteer
6. Bonfire/Campfire
7. Learn a game

Let's talk communication. We often categorized communication as good and bad, but miss if it is effective. Is it good if we all agree or get along, but what if nothing was accomplished? If feeling were hurt or a fight happened, but our true feelings were communicated and you were heard is that bad communication? So what is a person to do?

Don’t mistake good or effective communication with pleasant and comfortable interactions.

Takeaways:

• Communication is nonverbal and verbal.
• Listen to understand instead of waiting to respond.
• Talk more when there isn’t a conflict.
• Don’t fight to be right.
• Understand breaks/timeouts
• Have rules and boundaries.
