What are those little things that strengthen the bond between a couple's partners? And why is there so much emphasis in various articles on couple relationships on the need to strengthen the emotional connection, the closeness between partners?

Because, over time, it is far too easy for the two of them to distance themselves and neglect each other, despite their feelings. Today, we have a full and often chaotic life: studies, work, complex social life, rest, personal hobbies - how much time does he remain dedicated to his partner?

It happens that you get so preoccupied and stressed by your daily activities and responsibilities that you almost forget about your loved one, the person who needs you by your side - your partner.

Not infrequently, a partner in time comes to feel neglected, unappreciated, ignored even because that emotional connection is not strengthened, strengthened. The emotional distance between the couple's partners is often the first couple problem to arise, which will lead to several other problems…

So what are those little things that strengthen the bond between a couple's partners? Things that do not require much effort, but which we forget in time?

How you receive and say goodbye to your partner. Just because you've had a relationship for many years doesn't mean that romantic, passionate, or intimate gestures can be forgotten!

How much effort or time does it take to look your partner in the eye, hold him in your arms, and give him a long kiss when he sees you or says goodbye? Give up the short kiss on the run and strengthen the emotional connection between you with these little gestures of affection.

Use an intimate nickname when talking to your partner. Among the little things that strengthen the connection between a couple's partners is the way, they address each other (both the name/nickname and the tone used in addressing).

And no - not the nickname he has in the group of friends, but an intimate nickname, which only you use. This trivial little thing creates a sense of communion and intimacy - the more personal the nickname (and not a common one, like "dear" or "bunny"), the better.

Learn to be appreciative. Appreciative intelligence refers to the ability to see what is good and not just what is bad, to find strengths and not focus on the weak. And to create opportunities. To behave appreciatively means to show your partner that you admire him/her, respect him/her and that you are grateful because he/she is with you.

From simple words: "please", "thank you", to small compliments (what's so hard about saying out loud what you like about the other person?), To apologizing when you know you've taken the wrong step, to listen to him and ask for his opinion (showing interest in your partner's advice shows that you appreciate and respect him/her).

Don't forget during the day! Little things that strengthen the connection between a couple's partners: a message, or a phone call, no matter how short! No matter how busy your daily schedule is, don't forget to send at least one message to your partner during the day.

A message in which you tell him what happened before, in which you tell him that you miss him/her, a sexy message, even a funny message, with a fun link or a joke. Whatever it is - just show him that you think about him/her, that you don't forget him / her no matter how busy you are…

Evening for two. Not with friends and not at home for a movie or show… But as often as possible, preferably weekly, go out in pairs and do something relaxing and fun.

It doesn't have to be the classic outing at the restaurant - just about anything that attracts you is perfect, as long as it's just the two of you doing it. are group outings and lazy evenings at home, it's time for a little change. It will be fun!

Talk to each other! Not as an obligation: "I have to say something"; it is normal and okay if you do not feel the need to always talk, but to stay relaxed next to each other. But try to talk about what has happened in your life in the absence of the other - from important events to small events.

How to get to know each other, how to stay close, if you don't talk about what is happening to everyone? And one more thing: listening is even more important; when your partner tells you about his birthday, give him interest; give up other activities, do not keep an eye on TV, magazines or mobile phones!

Accept and discuss misunderstandings and dissatisfaction. Small things that strengthen the connection between partners? Don't let dissatisfaction grow, believing it doesn't make sense to talk about it; it does not simply disappear.

So if something seems wrong or if you can't come to an agreement, discuss (if possible, calmly) it. The couple's partner has no way of always knowing how you feel and think: learn to tell him! Learn to say what doesn't suit you and what you want from it - otherwise, dissatisfaction keeps accumulating…

Memories… What can you do to strengthen your emotional connection? Especially when you are not in a great mood, remember and talk about some special moments lived together, happy moments, and moments that strengthened your couple. Do not regret those wonderful moments together, but be grateful and happy that you have lived them; and try to find them: because, even if you may have changed over time, you are essentially the same people who loved each other then…
