I know, I know.

Whatever you guys like to do, just do it.

Text them randomly during the day.

Sometimes daily talk can become routine as if you are always having the same conversations about work and schedules.

Its a super simple way of saying,hey, youre one my mind and I miss you.

Express appreciation.

One of the worst feelings in a relationship is feeling like you are being taken for granted.

Show them that you see their efforts and it does not go unnoticed.

At the end of the day, everyone just wants to feel like they are appreciated.

Ask them about their day, and actually listen.

Maybe their day absolutely sucked and you asking about it opens them up to vent their frustrations.

You have to actually listen and see to it they know you care, even about the mundane stuff.

Leave the door open for deep conversations.

You cant force someone into talking about the deep stuff.

All you have to do is be open to it.

Dont get caught up in the daily routine so much that you kill the door on havingrealconversations.

Brag about them.

Sometimes its our own mindset that needs a refresher.

Remember when you first started dating your partner and nobody could get you to shut up about them?

The more positive we speak and feel about our partner, the more positive the relationship is in general.

Do more things together.

Sometimes strengthening your bond is as simple as going out together to run errands and handle the little things.

Let them know you are excited to see them!

Hold off on the honey-do list for a little bit and welcome them back first.

Laugh together!

Nothing makes me feel more comfortable with my person than when we are laughing together.

It doesnt matter if we are making fun of each other or watching a comedy flick at home.

Its important to have a sense of humor around your partner and be able to belly laugh together.

Stop expecting them to be your mind reader.

Expecting your partner to know what you want without telling them is really just setting yourself up for disappointment.
