It’s that time of year. Valentine’s day. We are surrounded by the commercial opportunity to be romantic. Not a bad reminder to do something romantic together with our partner or spouse.
The real work in a relationship however is on-going. The best relationships are built on a strong foundation of friendship; a mutual respect for and enjoyment of each other’s company. It is about having an abiding regard for each other and expressing this fondness not just in big ways but in little ways, day in, day out.
"As a result such couples have a marriage that is far more passionate than do couples who punctuate their lives together with romantic vacations and lavish anniversary gifts but have fallen out of touch in their daily lives." (John Gottman)
Eat together. Play together. Talk together.
