They say the weekend must be spent with the ones you love. However, busy schedules can meddle these days causing it as a distraction instead of relaxation. Supposing you are both struggling with deadlines at work or working double shifts to pay bills then how will you make time for each other?
The weekend doesn’t have to be lavish or extravagant. It doesn’t have to be dining in fancy restaurants or traveling to scenic places. There is no need for hours to celebrate. All it needs is the TWO of you. It can last for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or hours as long as you both have quality time.
Here are 5 effortless tips to spend your weekend:
1. Stay in bed a little late together. Just hang out with your spouse or partner for at least 10 minutes more, casual talks and giggles. Let him/her know that you are interested in hearing his/her morning concerns or views before you begin your days separately. You can start the conversation with a simple hello and cuddle to feel each other’s warmth enough to remind you of your feelings for each other. A kiss on the forehead and the magical three little words can get you a long way amidst the rush of your crazy weekend.
2. Send him/her an email of how you feel about him/her. If you can’t have the chance of being together physically then, be electronically together. Send your spouse or partner a short note of affection. You can simply mention how you remember that day when you met and how those first words you’ve shared still inspire you. Genuine and profound words can always be felt digitally or physically – remember that!
3. Cook his/her favorite dish. I know this is a cliche but it works like magic at all times. We all love good food, especially when shared with a great company – spouse, partner, or lover. A simple gesture of cooking one’s meal always makes it special – it simply means YOU CARE – sharing your quality time and effort. You could have just ordered a Grubhub or Postmate but NO, your mate is your everything so cooking is an absolute act of affection.
4. Watch a game or show at the comfort of your home. YES, I mean it literally. Your lover just wants to be seated next to you. All he/she needs is your warmth and hugs. There is no need for a front-row seat and VIP room. Rather have the most special room in your home where all memories of love and laughter have been shared.
5. Always say a little prayer. This may sound religious to you, but it is purely words of gratefulness. Life is precious. Every second, minute, and hour you have spent together is meant to be and have been granted by that SUPERHERO you have above. So grab each other’s hands, say words of gratitude, and seal the deal with a pure kiss, leading to the absolute bliss of a lasting relationship.
Your next question will probably be – does it work for me? Well, I am married for 17 years and counting to my first and will be my forevermore husband. All it takes are these surprisingly, practical tips for a lasting bond.
