Stay connected through small gestures from "summary" of Love, Sex and Long-term Relationships by Sarah Hendrickx
In long-term relationships, it is often the small gestures that can make a big impact in staying connected with your partner. These gestures may seem insignificant on their own, but when done consistently over time, they can strengthen the bond between you and your partner. These small gestures can be as simple as sending a text message to say "I love you" or leaving a note for your partner to find. These acts of kindness and thoughtfulness show your partner that you are thinking of them and that you care about their well-being. It is important to remember that staying connected through small gestures requires effort and intentionality. It is not enough to simply go through the motions; you must genuinely want to make your partner feel loved and appreciated. By consistently showing your partner that you care through small gestures, you are creating a foundation of trust and intimacy in your relationship. These gestures can help to keep the spark alive and prevent feelings of distance or disconnect from creeping in. So, whether it's making your partner's favorite meal or giving them a hug when they least expect it, remember that it's the small things that can make a big difference in keeping your relationship strong and healthy.
