Commit to communicating love on a consistent basis by making the most of the time that you spend together. Eliminate the urge to “capture the moment” for sharing on social media, and focus on being fully in the moment instead.
Purchase a mini journal. Keep it on hand to jot down any ideas for celebrating your love that come to mind. Additionally, keep a log of things you’ve done and places you’ve gone to avoid (boring) repetition. Lastly, record the reactions and responses of your special someone at each event. Were they pleasantly surprised? Disappointed? Excited? Use these as tools to brainstorm new ideas for the future. Always plan for things that you know will put a smile on your loved one’s face.
