During my most recent Private Couples Retreats, one of the partners described this activity as one they did prior to getting married. I loved it and wanted to share it with you!
Use This Activity to Increase Connection
Each person take an index card or a small piece of stationary (not too big, but not TOO small).
Each write the title “I Feel Loved and Special When…” at the top. Then, write 5 honest answers that would complete that sentence. (HINT: Be specific as possible. Writing: “… when you are kind” is very vague versus “…when you prepare a meal for me during the week” is clear and concrete.)
Give your list to your partner and make sure you BOTH place them in a spot you will clearly see them. Do those things as you can!
Help your partner feel loved and special by doing the things he/she has suggested. Your partner will feel heard and you will know you are doing something that will increase connection.
