Rekindle An Emotional Connection With Your Spouse

To live a healthy life, it’s essential to focus on the importance of our physical well-being, but we should also remember that our overall health is more than just the physical aspects – we don’t want to forget how important it is to keep our relationships healthy. Being in a relationship where both parties share a strong emotional connection has been proven to increase one’s quality of life and overall health. But let’s face it, our lives can become busy and monotonous; it’s easy to slip into our weekly routines and put our relationships on the back burner. Much like exercising at the gym to build muscles, we need to work out our relationship muscles to keep our emotional connections strong and healthy. Here are a few tips to help you rekindle an emotional connection with your spouse.

Be Spontaneous

Spontaneity keeps the excitement alive in our relationships and gets us to think outside of the box. It also helps us to be more trusting and curious. Every once in a while, do something spontaneous with your spouse. It can be something small and simple or big and exciting. For example, instead of eating dinner on the couch in front of the television, have a candlelight dinner at the dining table. If you’re looking for a big adventure, you can plan a surprise date and take your partner to a night of salsa dance lessons. Either way, adding some spontaneity to your relationship will create new and fun memories with your partner and will allow you to enjoy each other outside of your normal element.

Be Intentional

As we get wrapped up in the businesses of our daily lives, we can let significant time pass without checking in on our spouse to have a meaningful conversation. Being intentional about reconnecting is essential to maintaining an emotional bond and building intimacy. You and your partner should both feel confident and safe sharing everything from your biggest fears to life ambitions and dreams. Ask your spouse what they enjoyed most about their day and what they wish they could have done differently.

Don’t be afraid to pose the hard questions and grow your relationship! Ask your partner if there are any ways that you could better show love towards them. This requires vulnerability and you might feel uncomfortable at first, but these conversations will help you and your spouse learn more about each other and grow into a deeper relationship.

Set Goals Together

It’s good to have individual goals for self-improvement, but developing common goals for you and your spouse to achieve together is also important. Having a goal to work towards will build teamwork and connection. As you strive towards your goals, struggle, and achieve, you’ll grow closer together in trust and compatibility. Again, your goals can be big or small! You can resolve to build a healthier life together through exercise and diet, or you can set a large goal like buying a home or saving money for a vacation. Whatever the goal is, choose something that both you and your spouse feel passionately about.
