Say thanks more – Appreciate the little things your partner does, out loud. Plan weekly date nights – Doesn’t have to be fancy, just consistent. Surprise each other – A snack they mentioned, a cute note, anything. Hug more, even when you're busy – A 20-second hug = instant connection. Have deep convos – Go beyond chores. Ask stuff like, “What’s something new you wanna try?” Keep some solo space – Let each other miss things. Then share stories when you're back. It’s not about chasing constant fireworks—it’s about keeping the pilot light on. #marriedlife #relationship #stayclose
