No relationship is perfect. We have to constantly work on it to ensure that it runs smoothly. Here are a few ways to instantly improve your coupledom without putting in too much effort.
Turn off the smartphone
It may seem a trivial thing to do, but the time we spend on our smartphones lessens the time we spend and interact with our SO. So schedule some time in the day without gadgets and spend that time talking about your day with your partner.
Share a hobby
He may like the outdoors and you might be a homebody, but sharing a hobby is known to help couples bond. So pick something both of you enjoy. Or, alternate and spend time trying out each other’s favourite activity. It will bring you closer.
Go to bed at the same time
Going to bed at the same time gives you the chance to catch up with one another without having to make an extra effort to set up special time to be together. It just might be the instant fix your relationship needs.
Indulge in PDA
Hold hands on the road or hug him when he comes home from work. Physical intimacy goes a long way in making your partner feel loved, supported and reassured in a relationship.
Take an interest in his life
You may not understand each and every aspect of his job, and vice versa. But make an effort to talk to him and get to know his work life better. Also, keep him in the loop about what is up at your end. It helps couples stay connected.
Believe in the idea of romance
You may both be practical people, but give in to the idea of romance every once in a while. Say ‘I love you’ for no reason, plan surprises, have a date nigh,t or spice things up in the bedroom. It will help.
