幸福的情侣会在周末做这些事情
Monday through Friday can feel frantic and jampacked with work deadlines, appointments and other obligations that leave little time for couples to recharge their batteries. That's why weekends are a much-needed time for couples to slow down, connect and just enjoy each other's company, while also taking care of their individual needs and preparing for the week ahead. We asked relationship experts how the happiest couples spend their weekends. Here's what they told us. 1. They strike a balance between "me" time and "we" time. "With all the busyness of daily life, many of us can end up feeling more like roommates than sweethearts. Weekends are prime time to reconnect as a couple. Maybe your thing is to cook dinner together or curl up in front of the TV or head out to a movie. But what about the Saturday morning Spin class you like? Or the mystery novel you're dying to finish? What about breakfast out with the best friend you haven't seen in a month? The happiest couples are able to feel connected without needing to being joined at the hip. They know the importance of both 'me' time and 'we' time and make sure to support plenty of both." 2. They plan something fun to look forward to. "Many couples are so overwhelmed by their week that the weekend rolls around and they don't have any fun plans. The workweek can be way less of a slog if couples do a bit of advanced planning and have something fun to look forward to. It doesn't have to be an elaborate weekend getaway, even just booking a cooking class or dinner date can make all the difference. The happiest couples also realize that not everyone is a planner. If one person is better at planning, let them do that and the other person can offer something else that is their strong suit!" ―Danielle Harel, sex expert and co-author of Making Love Real: The Intelligent Couple's Guide to Lasting Intimacy and Passion |
