290 — Feeling Disconnected? Do These 5 Things With Your Partner This Weekend to Develop a Stronger Relationship


Listen Later

Do you feel like you and your partner have lost a bit of your spark? If so, you might be tempted to plan something big to turn things around. But, it's often the little things in relationships that make a big difference. And weekends are the perfect time to reconnect and deepen your bond.

Today, I’m sharing five simple habits mentally strong couples practice on the weekends. These aren't complicated or time-consuming but they could make a big difference in your ability to grow stronger together.

Some of the things I talk about are:

  • Why spending intentional time apart can actually bring you closer.
  • The counterintuitive reason that independence builds security in a relationship.
  • How creating small, consistent rituals provides stability and a sense of belonging.
  • The importance of making it safe to talk about your feelings—both good and bad.
  • The difference between being in the same room and creating true quality time.
  • One simple, two-second habit that can transform your entire relationship dynamic.
