Re-Connecting
Start each day with a hug and a kiss and an "I love you"!
During the life of a relationship, one that endures past the six month mark, and one that manifests itself into a marriage, space can develop between the couple.
It’s not tangible, but it is space, a changing of the path of each person, some call this a “drifting away”.
Drifting away is an angry term, one that provides excuses for not trying to save the relationship because it is drifting away and your partner is becoming out of reach.
“Reach” is what you had when the relationship blossomed into something strong, something that withstood the minor disagreements and arguments that interfered, just a little, and were either solved or smoothed over.
You never lose “reach” you just forget to stretch out your arms to hug the other person.
I want you to practice hugging.
My wife and I have a morning ritual that involves a hug and several kisses and an “I love you” that starts our day and keeps us aware of our commitment when the day is new.
For the next while, start this ritual of reaching out and embracing your partner, there’s always time for a little closeness and an “I love you” to begin your day.
A small step towards reconnecting that may lead to a major shift in communicating more with your partner.
