Do you feel as if the two of you are drifting apart? I have never felt this feeling, only when I was in high school, but it wasn’t that bad because it was just a schoolyard relationship. I am glad I have never felt this with my husband, but if you are feeling it, then you need to find your partner again. Do the things you used to do when you first met.

If you feel as if something is not right with your relationship, then sit down and talk with your partner. Explain to them what you are feeling. Tell them what changes you would like to make. Don’t be rude. Don’t pick on them and don’t be over powerful. Remember, you don’t control the other.

Write a Note

To this day, I still like writing notes and leaving them where my husband can find them. Some may call it childish, but I call it sweet. I also write e-mails to him and talk to him on messenger, even though he is sitting right beside me on his computer. Strange? I call it romantic and there’s nothing wrong with it. Write a note to your partner explaining what you think is wrong. Writing a note will give you a chance to see yourself and to see if you are going too overboard with words.

Do you remember back when you were dating? The two of you enjoyed some pretty cool dates, didn’t you? Sure, you may be married now, but that does not mean you cannot go on dates. Going on dates is a great way to reconnect with each other.
