In the hectic lifestyle that we have these days, sparing time for each other is turning out to be much harder than we first imagined.You may be in a relationship or you may be married, but that’s no excuse to ignore each other on the pretext of having busy individual lives.
These days, several couples hardly ever spend an hour together at the end of the day.It may start off as an inevitable choice, but soon enough, it may turn into a lifestyle change.
If you feel like you and your partner are drifting away from each other, physically or emotionally, use these 8 time management techniques to strengthen your romance and share a happier life together.
# Time your day
Plan your day ahead and time everything so you’re not rushing through your day in chaos and confusion. Making a schedule and timing yourself can help you work though the day without getting stressed or tired. Spend a few minutes the earlier night planning the next day’s routine and you’ll see how relaxed your day can be.
# Keep your partner updatedWhen you plan your day, keep your partner in the loop and let them know everything about your day and its schedule. Both of you may have busy lives, but just the thought of knowing what either of you are up to can bring both of you closer and build the connection.
# Spend a day togetherSpending together time may seem like an easy idea, but can you remember the last few times when you and your lover spent the whole day together, hopping from home to coffee shops or dinner dates? No matter how busy your schedules may be, make a sincere effort to spend one day every week with each other doing the things that both of you love.
# Meet each other out of the blueWhen both of you are aware of each other’s lives, it’s easy to squeeze in a lunch or a coffee in the middle of the day with each other. When you make the effort to meet up unexpectedly, it’ll keep the excitement of the relationship alive for a lot longer.
# Do chores togetherDaily chores may take a lot of time every day. But by working together and finishing up chores, it’ll be faster and still give both of you more time to spend with each other and talk about your individual lives.
# Share common hobbiesHobbies are a welcome pastime that can be relaxing and refreshing. Do you and your partner like similar activities? Try to look for common hobbies to share with each other. By doing that, both of you would be able to relax and feel good at the end of a hard week, and still do something enjoyable and relaxing together.
# Don’t spend all your day workingWorking all day can be profitable to your wealth. But it adds very little to your relationship. You may be busy all day, but try to spend at least an hour every day with each other. Don’t bring work into the conversation. Instead, just talk about each other’s daily lives.
# Go out with your friendsGo out with your own friends now and then. It’s always good to meet new faces and talk about new things. And at times, involve your partner and meet each other’s friends too. By being aware of each other’s lives and having common friends, you can reduce any insecurity that may crop up in a relationship
