Kia ora,
So often the things we promise ourselves and each other at the beginning of a new relationship get forgotten or not prioritised after the 'honeymoon' period has ended.
Small things such as the suggestions below, can make the world of difference!

1. Have regular date nights.
Time alone, without the pressures or interruptions of work or children, is one of the best ways you can connect and bond with your partner.
2. Always put your relationship first.
Don't fall into the habit of letting work or social activities push your relationship to the back burner.
3. Talk.
Talk about your FEELINGS, not 'things'. Try sitting face-to-face with the TV off when you talk, and wait until the kids have gone to bed.
4. Look for the good.
Focus on the good, not the bad. For every 'bad' thing your partner has done, if you think about it, you will be able to think of ten good things.
5. Plan a holiday together.
Getting away together, even for a night or weekend, can be a great way to reset and refresh your relationship.
The most important thing to remember is that, like so much else in life, taking ownership of our problems, and making a commitment to fixing them, are the keys to success.
