Here are a few basic reminders that can help you stay in love, or fall back in love with your partner. Love is a two way street, and communication is key. By following these 7 simple steps, keeping things happy will be much easier.

1. Greetings: in order to keep the love going, it’s important to remember the sweet gesture of a hello, good-bye, goodnight, or just because hug and/or kiss.

2. Compliment each other: it’s important to share positive feelings about each other. Although you may think them, it’s also nice to verbally let the person on the other side hear it.

3. Give thanks: it’s easy to take kind gestures for granted. Remembering to show appreciation as well as simply say “thank you” is important.

4. Gestures of kindness: we do sweet things for birthdays, holidays, or after an argument. However, remembering a “thinking of you”, “good luck with your presentation”, or “enjoy your workout” email, voicemail, or note is a thoughtful way to let the other person know they are on your mind.

5. Rituals: It’s important to create non-sexual rituals. This ritual can be a date night, watching your favorite show together, an evening walk, reading the funnies, whatever it is you share and make a point to do together at least once a week.

6. Daily check in: In the hustle and bustle of our day, it’s important that couples share uninterrupted time with each other, with the purpose being to focus on each other.

7. Calendar: I’ve spoken to so many couples who haven’t had a date in months. They get busy with work, family, kids, travel, etc. If you have a designated weekly calendar appointment, you can schedule time to have date night. I suggest midweek that way you can discuss any potential weekend plans.
