Keeping the love connection by Christie B
Valentines Day is upon us and while there is a major focus in expressing love to that special someone on one day, what do we do to nurture connectedness the rest of the year?
 I find there are expectations on couples to have romantic get aways and long candlelit dinners, not that there is anything wrong with these things, except sometimes we forget the important aspects of staying connected during the day.
My husband and I guard our adult time strongly and our kids know that unless they are sick, the evenings are for mum and dad.
Short calls throughout the day are also helpful; they drip feed the events of the day, so that by the time you are home there is more of a debriefing than a download situation.
Making a short time each day to ‘catch-up’ is far superior to going all week without contact and then expecting to have a riveting date night, you cannot actually have one without the other. Often couples don’t make the time to do this and then when they do go out for dinner it ends up a fiasco as they try to push every topic and major decision into this time.
Some ways that you can stay connected is by leaving each other a quick note on the kitchen bench. Make quick calls to see how certain appointments went.
Another way is to keep the person in mind by bringing home an inexpensive gift that shows you have thought of them and you know what will make them smile.
Perhaps you have ways of staying connected with your loved one that you would like to share here.
