![]() One of the best things about a relationship is building a real friendship together. It's been stated before that you can tell a married couple at a restaurant because those are the two who are sitting together quietly, or engrossed in their devices, not talking all that much. Dating couples are engaged, talking, and not consumed in their phones or other devices. Take a moment and really look into each other’s eyes, refocus your “sight”, work together for each other. The view will be spectacular. Where has the friendship or commonality gone? Yes, we all get consumed with jobs, careers, responsibilities, kids, chores, and the list goes on. One of the five "love languages" that are highlighted in relationships is "Time". Spending uninterrupted time together is a crucial aspect in a relationship. Question, how do you make friends? You talk, find things in common, spend time together, make it a point to find and make time for each other. I know I am not a counselor, but invest in a relationship book or guide that you can do together - the point is "together". Getting out of the norm and doing something together uninterrupted that allows you to reignite or fan a flame enables you to focus on each other, to prefer the other, and reconnect. It is too easy to go back into a rut or a normal routine. We invested into our relationships when they started, why don't we keep the intensity we initially had? If not the intensity, at least the consistency of our attention? Relationship are like stock portfolios or bank accounts. The more we invest the greater our return.
