❤️‍🩹 Conflict Tips

Navigating tension with love.

• Use “I feel” instead of “You always”
• Take breaks if emotions run high—then return to the issue
• Ask: “What do you need right now?” not just “What’s wrong?”
• Assume positive intent before reacting
• Reconnect after arguments (touch, talk, or just be)

💖 It’s not about never fighting—it’s about how you repair.

🌱 Mini Challenges

Simple ways to grow closer.

• Write a love letter and read it out loud
• Try a new activity neither of you has done before
• 24-hour compliment challenge
• Plan a surprise (big or small) for each other
• No phones for 2 hours one evening—just each other
• Share 3 dreams for the next year

✔️ Little steps lead to lasting connection.

💡 DIY Date Night Ideas

Low-cost, high-vibe ways to reconnect.

• Build a blanket fort and watch your childhood favorites
• “Cook-Off” challenge: swap roles and surprise each other
• Playlist + puzzle night
• Journal or vision board your dream future together
• Take a virtual class (cooking, dance, painting)
• Walk + talk + ice cream night

🎨 Connection doesn’t have to cost a thing.

🧠 Emotional Check-Ins

Tune into each other’s inner world.

Ask:

• How are you feeling emotionally today—really?
• Is there anything weighing on you I should know?
• When did you feel most loved this week?
• Is there anything we need to talk about but haven’t?

Try this once a week or during quiet downtime. Gentle, honest, and kind.

🗣️ Conversation Starters

Spark meaningful, heart-opening talks.

• What’s something you’ve always wanted to do together but haven’t yet?
• What made you smile this week—and why?
• How can I support you better right now?
• What does love feel like to you lately?
• If we could relive one memory together, what would it be?
• When do you feel most connected to me?

💬 Tip: Pick one question a day over dinner or during a walk.

🔁 Connection Rituals

Little habits with big impact.

• Daily 3-minute hugs to start or end the day
• “One win, one worry” check-ins each evening
• Weekly no-phones dinner or walk
• Morning coffee talks on Sundays
• Monthly goal check-ins
• Love notes on bathroom mirrors or tucked into bags

🧘 These rituals create safety, trust, and shared presence.
