At the very start of arelationship, couples can easily and simply share intimate time together by holding hands, hugging and kissing. But all this could stop when couples start raising kids together.
Belinda Williams suggests making time for intimate 'micro-moments' like this together, even if just for five minutes. She said this simple technique is about taking the smallest opportunities to signal to the other person your love and care.
It may be ensuring a proper greeting and farewell, a quick cuddle as you pass in the hallway, holding hands as you fall asleep, saying I love you face to face, an expression of gratitude, a small gift like their favourite bread or tea.
These little things can be more beneficial for your relationship thanbig romantic gestures because opportunities to do them arrive more often which means you can show your love daily which is very reassuring for the other person.
