Jan 09,2025

1. Establish effective communication: Regularly hold "Our Time": Set a fixed time every week or month to only discuss each other's feelings, needs, and expectations, avoiding external interference. Listen instead of interrupting: When the other person is speaking, listen attentively, give positive feedback, and do not interrupt or immediately refute. Honest expression: Use "I" statements to express personal feelings and needs, reduce accusations, and increase understanding.

2. Shared experiences and interests: Participate in activities together: Choose activities or hobbies that both parties are interested in, such as traveling, sports, watching movies, etc., to enhance common topics and memories. Create new experiences: Try new things, such as cooking classes, dance classes, etc., to increase the fun and freshness in life. Supporting each other's dreams: Encourage and participate in each other's personal goals and dreams, becoming a strong backing for each other.

3. Expressing love and gratitude: daily small actions: express love and care through hugs, kisses, handwritten notes, and other small actions. Public praise: Praising the other person in front of friends and family, making them feel respected and valued. Regular Gratitude: Establish a "Gratitude Day" or regularly express gratitude in daily life, recognizing the contributions and efforts made by others to the family.

By making efforts in the above three aspects, it is possible to effectively cultivate the emotional foundation between husband and wife, enhance intimacy and happiness.
