A healthy relationship is good for our health and our sleep.

1. Social connection promotes good hormones and confidence
2. Having that unconditional acceptance and support in our lives boosts self esteem, our immune system, and general sense of well-being.
3. Sex releases all kinds of feel good hormones that bond us to our partners and help us sleep at night.

Ways to nurture your partner:

1. Don’t take the relationship for granted, ever! Appreciate and pamper and acknowledge your love for your partner daily.
2. Invest time in your relationship. Take time to share a nice meal together, play, make love, talk etc. It is easy to get busy with our lives and get into a routine where we are not connecting and not giving our best to our partners.
3. Learn to communicate well. I highly recommend any Mars and Venus book by John Gray.
4. Touch each other
5. Be respectful.
6. Take an interest in each other’s interests
7. If you start feeling irritated with your loved one focus on the reasons why you fell in love with that person in the first place.
8. Do not go to bed angry
9. Be flexible in daily life
10. Don’t be critical
11. Are you being the kind of person that you would want to be with?
12. Do things around the house without being asked
13. Write notes
14. Send sexy texts
15. Slow dance: make eye contact, flirt, tease…
16. Find new adventures to do together
17. Make a peaceful, orderly, and beautiful home a priority
18. Don’t let resentments build up. Anger and resentment is the biggest love killer!
19. Practice forgiveness
20. Be in the Now with your partner as much as possible
21. Think and talk in terms of “we” and “us”
