Finding common interests can lead couples to feel more intimately close.

What kinds of things do you enjoy doing with your partner?

What things would you like to do that you have not taken the time to do together as yet?

Take an evening to brainstorm ideas with your significant other and each person take turns planning a special date.

The anticipation, curiosity, and excitement about what exciting things your partner has in store leads one to feel happier and more fulfilled.

Angry with each other?

Today, one of every two marriages ends in divorce. Of the 50 percent of couples who do not divorce, perhaps half are truly happy.
Distressed or abusive couples often inflict long-term pain and suffering on themselves and their children.
Physical or verbal violence is part of an estimated one-fourth to one-half of dating relationships.
The major predictor of divorce and marital unhappiness is not disappointment over finances, lack of sexual attraction, or lack of love. It is the way couples manage conflict. Fetch and Jacobsen 2007
Good, honest, open communication can lead couples to better understanding and clarity about the issues they are experiencing. Patience, love, kindness, self awareness and commitment go far in assisting a relationship to blossom.
Anger expression which is hurtful, violent, aggressive and disrespectful leads to intimacy dissolution.
Counseling can help. I urge couples to make an appointment with a trusted professional when anger, resentment and disrespect become the norm as communication in the relationship. You both deserve health and wellness.
