1. The “Reset Button” Technique
Think back to the beginning of your relationship—those first dates, butterflies, and awkward laughs. Recreating one of those early experiences can feel like pressing a reset button on your connection.
I brought my partner back to the same little diner where we had our very first date. It wasn’t fancy, but it sparked memories of how it all started. We laughed about how nervous we were, and just like that, the spark began to return.
2. The Complaint-Free Week
Challenge yourself to go an entire week without complaining about your partner—no eye-rolls, no snarky comments, nothing. Instead, intentionally focus on what they’re doing right.
I won’t lie—this one was tough. But by the third day, I found myself noticing the small, thoughtful things I’d been overlooking. It was like slipping on a new pair of relationship glasses and finally seeing all the good that had been there all along.
3. The “I Feel” Conversations
Shift from blaming to expressing. Instead of saying, “You never make time for me,” try, “I feel lonely when we don’t spend time together.” That small change can make a big difference.
For us, this tweak completely transformed our arguments. What used to feel like all-out battles became real, meaningful conversations. As it turned out, my partner didn’t even realize how I was feeling most of the time—until I started saying it this way.
4. The Appreciation Avalanche
For 30 days, share one thing each day that you genuinely appreciate about your partner. It can be something big, something small—just make sure it’s sincere.
By the second week, we found ourselves actually looking for things to appreciate in each other. It was like we’d slipped on a pair of love goggles—suddenly, the little things felt a lot more meaningful.
5. The “New Skill” Bonding
Try learning something new together—whether it’s cooking, dancing, rock climbing, or anything that encourages teamwork and shared effort.
We signed up for a salsa class, and honestly, we were awful. But laughing at ourselves and stumbling through the steps brought us closer than we’d been in a long time. It wasn’t about getting it right—it was about doing it together.
