Verbally share the events of the day
Renew statements regarding the relationship: "I love you." "You are special to me." "I missed you." "I have been looking forward to being with you."
Touch each other in meaningful ways - hugs, kisses, holding hands, sitting close
Remember, commitment leads to communications; communication stimulates forgiveness; and forgiveness offers grace, which develop intimacy
Show appreciation for something your spouse has done - say "thank you"
Take turns asking and explaining when you have misunderstood one another
Share hopes and dreams - a basic key to a close relationship
Be a good listener - no response may be necessary
(Glenda Hotton, M.A.)
