Being supportive of each other’s growth is effective in relationships. Remember that the two of you are equal in the relationship and that you are a team. Set shared goals look into individual aspirants and aim and celebrate small milestones.
Spend time together
Prioritise spending time with each other. Even on a busy day, limit screen time and try to plan activities. Plan surprise date nights, a hobby together, and even be impulsive on point as it keeps the relationship fresh. Leave surprise notes and gifts to make to keep it more intense.
Share gratitude
Even to the closest person to you, make sure to share your gratitude and appreciation. A simple thank you or sorry will make your partner’s day. These regular expressions will show that you care and pay attention even to the little things that your partner does.
Physical and emotional intimacy
