It's making one night a week your night, whether you have a babysitter or not, to eat dinner together (alone), sit on the couch and talk, or work on a project together; to connect and interact on a deeper level then the practicalities of life and parenting.
Tips for success:
1.) Set the intention now to nurture your relationship each and every day.
2.) Be open and inspired by what ideas you have (big or small) to support this intention.
3.) When a thought comes to mind ("I want to call Mike and tell him I am thinking of him"), act on it if you can in that moment. Don't over analyze it or rationalize it away. Take the inspired action. Those are the ones that usually take the least time, are the most pleasurable for us, and have the best results.
4.) Start each day with the reminder and intention to notice and act on small ways to nurture your relationship.
5.) End each day checking in with yourself as to what you did to nurture your relationship.
Better yet, discuss the idea of consciously nurturing your relationship with your spouse/partner and do the checking in with each other at the end of the day.
