How To Reconnect?

Touching

Make sure you touch every day, whether it be cuddling, holding hands or kissing.

We are made for human connection.

Connecting on this level every day will build on your emotional connection.

Caring

Show your partner that you’re interested in their day. Ask open ended questions.

Listen and validate them if they express a hard day and celebrate any workplace or personal achievements.

Support any goals or dreams they might have. This shows you value them in the relationship and contributions they make towards the family.

Support

Always support your partner in front of other people even if you do not agree with them. You can always bring up differences behind closed doors.

It is important not to put your partner down to others even if you’re on your own with other people.

Building up trust and keeping it is very important in a relationship. If a partner does not feel supported they will pull away emotionally and physically.

Never complain about your partner even if a friend or other family member is complaining about your partner.

It is important your partner know you have their back at all times.

Appreciation

Show appreciation and gratitude for the things your partner does for you no matter how small. The attitude you show will not be for nothing. Your partner will not feel taken for granted and this will increase the emotional and physical connection because they will feel better about themselves.

Sleeping Naked

Sleep naked next to each other under the covers. You may feel surprised how this draws you both together emotionally as well as physically.
Being in each others arms naked is a very bonding exercise, strengthening the relationship.

Memories

It is important for the relationship to go over the happy memories of the relationship while also creating new memories together. Every relationship needs new happy memories to fall back on in hard times.

Jokes

It is important to share jokes and humour with your partner. This is a fun way to reconnect. Watching comedies and Laughing brings two people together.

Kindness

It doesn’t take much to think of ways to be kind to your partner. It will make you feel better too if you go out of your way for your partner or show some thoughtfulness like surprising them with their favourite flowers or chocolate or icecream.

Also try doing extra things around the home you might leave for your partner to do.

Leave some love messages around for them to find.

Compliment them on their clothing and hair or tell them how good they look.

Flirting

Flirt with your partner like you did to get their attention before you dated. Wear clothes you know they like you in. Change up to lingerie if youre not in the habit of wearing this. Make your wardrobe exciting. Men, start using aftershave if you don’t already. Start dressing stylish for her. Get rid of the old tea shirts and board shorts and thongs when you leave the house together. Make an effort for her.

Electronics

When you’re home together don’t use your time on PlayStation etc. Remember, every minute or hour you spend on the electronics is taking away from the relationship that could be used to build on the emotional and physical connection.
