Being Present with Your Partner

Often, we can feel that our plate is full of responsibilities, and we have many roles to fill. Between flexible work models and meeting personal or social commitments, we can unintentionally neglect people who support us every step of the way.

Reconnecting can look like:

• Acknowledge the importance of spending uninterrupted time together

• Set a regular 'date night'

• Choose a space in your home or community that feels calm to connect in

• Remind each other of attributes you admire about one another

• Have regular check-ins about your needs in the relationship

• Communicate the need to discuss heavy topics and avoid doing this before bed

• Express gratitude for actions they take to support you
