Are you worried you and your man don’t make time for each other? Do you feel miles apart when you’re in the same room? You’re not alone. In this modern age, we spend more time on our phones than we do appreciating the people next to us. Even so, you should be taking steps to make the most of every moment you spend with your man. Life is short, and love is precious. Follow these steps to make sure every moment you spend together is everything it can be!
DROP DISTRACTIONS
Have phones and television have been getting between you and your spouse? Take steps to drop distractions. That’s not to say you need to banish phones whenever you spend time together. It just means that you should put distractions aside for long enough to look at each other! Take small steps to start with. Talk to your man about the way you’re feeling. Chances are, he’ll agree. Together, decide how to proceed. Making a rule that no phones are allowed at the dinner table can help. Why not make a conscious effort to watch a distraction free film in the evenings? Spending short stretches of time in each other’s company will make a world of difference.
EXPERIENCE THINGS
There’s nothing better for making the most of every moment than going out and experiencing! Even so, when both you and your man are busy, it’s easy to get out of the habit. Again, take it slow. Vow to have a date night at least once a month. Go for meals, or to the cinema. You could even head to the theater! Once you get into the habit of date nights, start arranging day trips. Hop on the train and go somewhere new! Experiencing the world together is the best way to rekindle your closeness.
DON’T LET THE FUTURE DISTRACT YOU
Too often our heads are ahead of us. When can you say you were last well and truly in the moment? Looking too hard at the future can be damaging for your present. Though you may dream of diamond engagement rings and babies, accept that they’re not happening just yet. What’s more, you’ll never get there if your partner feels you don’t appreciate them right now! Rest easy that the future will happen on its own. All you need to do is enjoy every second of it!
DOCUMENT YOUR EXPERIENCES
Though technology can get in the way of a relationship, it can also help. While you and your man are out experiencing the world, it may be worth taking the time to document what you do. Take pictures together. Take pictures of the places you’ve been. You could even make travel vlogs if you wanted! Having these testaments to where you’ve been will allow you to relive the memory whenever you want to. It’ll also give you a sense of satisfaction. Why not invest in a photo album and start keeping a log of all the things you’ve done together?
