"5 Ways to Get
Back Passion and Connection"
By Susie and Otto Collins
Since it's
approaching the time that schools start a new year in the
USA, it's certainly a reminder to all of us to "get back"
to what's important in our lives.
Although
we might become even busier as we
approach the fall season, we can make conscious choices now
to create more passion and connection in our lives and relationships.
With this
in mind, here are 5 powerful ways to increase passion, love,
and connection that have been sent in by readers like you.
We invite
you to try them out in your life!
1. "We
try to have a positive attitude about everyday life and make
each other smile or laugh! We laugh at the silliest things!
We go to bed about the same time every night and snuggle and
we say our prayers together while holding one another. It
is a very warm and touching experience."
2. "My
boyfriend and I love to try to do not just 'fun' things together,
but 'childlike fun' things together to refresh our relationship.
Childhood is usually a unique time when a feeling of passionate
play comes into enjoyable activities.
"My
boyfriend and I try to tap into that 'passionate playful'
feeling by doing things we loved to do as kids, but do not
usually think of doing as adults.
"We
feel a playful freedom going to Disney World together, (without
any kids with us), and other theme parks, or water parks.
We recently tried roller skating, and ice skating again after
almost 20 years.
"And
how often now do you find yourself dancing in the privacy
of your own home as adults? It is probably something most
of us did as kids in our locked bedroom. I try to put on music
as much as possible instead of television (at first very much
against my boyfriends wishes) and take his hands and dance
for a little bit here and there while one
of us prepares dinner. We always end up smiling."
3. The
best way I have found to show my husband I care is by taking
packaged snacks and using puns from the names to tell him
I care. Baby Ruth " Baby, you are the best." ; Planter's
nuts " I'm nuts about you." etc. It keeps things
interesting, cheerful, and fun while he knows I am thinking
about him.
4. "...There
is one thing my partner can do that will keep me forever in
love with him. And that is to understand and accept that I
am his partner but still an individual with thoughts, feelings,
ideas and views that might be different from his. He allows
me freedom to be my own person, not just an
extension of him because we are partners."
5. "In
my relationship, I think one of the keys to it is always make
time for one another. Even if youonly have 5 mins, let the
other person know how much you care about them.
"Always
say I love you. Plus always keep open communication with your
partner. Be a good listener and tell them what you are hearing
from what they have to say. Make sure you both understand
the same way.
"Be
romantic on the spur of the moment. Go for a walk together.
Read together. Do fun things. Have one night set aside for
a date night with each other. Go away for a romantic weekend.
Make breakfast and serve it in bed."
What great
ideas for keeping love, passion and connection alive!
We invite
you to do just one thing this week to reconnect with each
other and allow more
of what you want in your life to happen.
