Snuggle Session

For this date, you’ll need a spot to sit both you and your spouse together comfortably such as a couch, bed, or large recliner.  You’ll snuggle in close together, maybe wrapping arms around each other, in order to feel the warmth and closeness of your spouse. You’ll then take turns talking about your greatest dreams, wishes, and desires. Questions for further clarification of these dreams is allowed, but make sure to give sufficient time to each person to share what they want. There is something about physical touch that invokes a deep, emotional connection and allows for greater disclosure and sharing of feelings.

Your Daily R&R Tip! (Relationship Reconnection):

Remember that this time for talking is for sharing deep, personal feelings in a safe place. Any criticism or harsh remark of your spouse’s comments is a blow to their self-esteem and their personal feelings and desires. You both are becoming more vulnerable through this experience with your spouse, and in order to develop the deeper emotional connection, these feelings that are being shared need to be kept confidential and respected. By sharing these deeper dreams and desires with your spouse, you will be building up your emotional intimacy within your marriage by building your love maps of each other.
