In fact, have you even spoken to your spouse with kind words and no inferences of demands, wink-wink? You dictating what must happen in the home, does not bring warm, fuzzy moments to the heart. You need to extend your hand by expanding your heart. Amidst the chaos, it's crucial to prioritize and maintain love and connection with your spouse. After all, isn't love supposed to be a sanctuary in the midst of life's storms? So, anchor away. Create your sanctuary today. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your sanctuary today! Here are three practical ways couples can continue to foster love even in the face of stress: 1. Communication is Key: When stress levels are high, communication tends to break down, leading to misunderstandings and conflict. To keep the love alive, it's essential for couples to communicate openly and honestly. Take the time to sit down with your partner, actively listen to their concerns, and express your own feelings without judgment. "Don't always talk while in action. Let your words speak first, and then follow-up with your actions next." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Instead of bottling up frustrations from work, share them with your partner over a cup of coffee. By expressing your emotions and concerns, you invite your partner into your world and strengthen the bond between you. 2. Quality Time Together: In the midst of hectic schedules and endless to-do lists, carving out quality time for each other can easily fall by the wayside. However, making time for shared experiences and bonding activities is vital for sustaining a loving relationship. Plan date nights, weekend getaways, or even simple activities like cooking together or going for a walk. "Quality time spent together today is an investment in your relationship's tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Unplug from technology and distractions for an evening and enjoy a candlelit dinner with your partner. Focus on each other's company and create lasting memories that will strengthen your emotional connection. 3. Support and Encouragement: During stressful times, having a supportive partner by your side can make all the difference. Show love and support to your significant other by being there for them, offering a listening ear, and providing words of encouragement. "In times of stress, unconditional love and support are the pillars that hold relationships together." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: If your partner is facing a challenging situation at work, be their cheerleader and source of strength. Offer words of encouragement, lend a helping hand, and remind them that you are in this together. You can navigate the ups and downs of life's stressors while keeping the flame of love burning bright. Remember, love is not just a feeling. Love is a verb; it's a conscious choice to prioritize your partner and nurture your bond, even in the midst of chaos. "Love is the anchor that keeps couples grounded amidst life's storms." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
