How to connect more deeply with your partner every day

Connecting with your partner really isn’t that difficult or lengthy of a process. Its something that we can easily do, every day, to ensure that no moss grows between you. Couples wonder, what should we talk about? Our day? Good question. You can in fact talk about something as mundane as your day but try to stay emotionally focused when doing so. In other words, we can tell anyone about the content of the day. (i.e.: I went to work, had lunch, had some meetings, came home). Nothing personal or deeply connecting about that conversation. If it’s a conversation you can have with anyone, then its not the right one to have with your partner to feel emotionally connected daily. A better and deeper conversation to have with your partner would have to include more personal information, more emotional information about the day, meetings, lunch, etc. Information that you would ONLY share with your partner. That is what makes partners special to us. Like the difference between an acquaintance and a best friend, we may share all sorts of superficial information with an acquaintance, but the personal, juicy details about how we felt during the day would only be reserved for our bestie. So, the conversation would become more along the lines of, “So on the drive to work today, I got behind this guy driving erratically and I felt so anxious and furious that drivers like that are allowed on the road. I thought about calling him in, but then he took off before I could get his plate number. I felt worried about our kids driving with this guy on the road. Do you ever worry about stuff like that?” Boom! See the difference in conversation? Aim to share more emotional content with your partner and less logistical content. It will go a long way in making you feel closer every day.
