Time Tune Up
How much quality time are you spending with your mate? I’m not talking about sitting in the same room watching TV together, or driving in the same car going to a particular destination. Time together is your most valuable asset in your relationship. You need to be spending quality time together. Put away distractions, face each other and talk, laugh, go for a walk or do something fun. If you had to hesitate to determine the answer to that question then you probably are not spending enough time together in your relationship. Here are some great tips will cause an instant relationship tune up – snuggle together often, remove TV’s and electronic devices from the bedroom and figure out what to do with that time, schedule time to do something old fashioned like playing a board game or cards.
Touch Tune Up
Touch is a powerful way to express care. You can tune up your relationship just by touching more. Begin to kiss more. Don’t just wait for lovemaking times or the normal peck on lips when saying hello or goodbye. Pucker up during the day and give a good one. Think about when you first started dating and give one of those kinds of kisses. Spend some lazy time over the weekends and give each other a massage. Hold hands more often, give pats on the shoulders – little things like that create big passion in relationships.
Thank You Tune Up
Have you displayed gratitude towards your mate? Spend time looking for something positive to say. Thank them for being the love of your live. Make them want to be around you more because you are so good at giving praise and showing signs of thankfulness. Did he do something you wanted done without being asked? Make a big deal about it. Is she doing a good job in an area of her life that you saw improvement. Make her feel like the queen of the universe. Praise can be a powerful relationship tune up tool.
