- You can do this same thing during date night, such as cooking dinner together and then going to the movies, or spice it up and do something new every time. If you’re staying in, maintain a romantic atmosphere by lighting some candles and playing some soft music.
- Whatever you do, make sure you have time to really talk during your special time together. You won’t be able to talk much if you’re just going to a loud concert together.
2. Make love at least once a week. You don’t have to
plug this into your calendar, and hopefully you won’t have to, but you
should make a conscious effort to make love at least one a week, no
matter how tired you feel after work, or how much you have going on that
week.
- Making love is a way to maintain your intimacy and to grow closer to your partner.
- You should also spend some time just cuddling and kissing each other, so you don’t feel like you’re just checking “sex” off of your to-do list.

3. Make time to talk. Though your schedules may get
crazy, you need to make a concerted effort to talk to each other every
day, no matter how much work you have to do. You can set aside time to
talk during dinner, or to talk over the phone if your loved one is away.
- Make a habit of knowing what your loved one’s day was like. Though you don’t have to bore each other with every little detail of your lives, you should become comfortable with each other’s routines.
- If you’re spending a week apart, set aside at least fifteen minutes a day to catch up and to remind your loved one how much you love and miss him.
