Rituals EVERY couple should do everyday – It’s the small things that count. So many busy couples wind up in distress and disconnected from each other because everything else is a priority but their relationship. I often wind up seeing couples who have lost each other in the chaos of life.

Work, kids, school, even friends — people are weighed down by so many outside factors and “obligations,” and get into trouble when they neglect the importance of their relationships.
When people first fall in love, they spend time with each other and enjoy it. Other things fall to the wayside; you might stay up all night with each other, call out sick from work, and it’s like the other person becomes your entire universe.
Eventually, we all know that even the hottest of relationships becomes old hat. Reality returns, calling out sick from work is reserved mostly for when you actually are sick, and if you’re up late it’s because you’re out with friends, have a cranky baby or you’re doing work.
Couples wind up living together, going about their lives, and their relationships take a back seat to everything else they have going on.
But here’s the thing: If you don’t prioritize your relationship in addition to everything else you have going on, you’re putting it at risk. But as a busy professional working full-time or more, how are you supposed to keep your connection alive with your partner?
Here are five simple rituals you can add to your life without having to set aside hours to stay connected during the busiest times in your life. Put one or all of these rituals on autopilot for those busy times in your life, instead of neglecting each other until you get a chance to breathe again.
1. Make sex a priority.
OK, this is obvious, but people forget to have sex. You get home late from work, you’re tired, whatever. Don’t let your sex life slip away because of anything else. If you’re both unsatisfied, one of you will be, even if you don’t want to admit it. Don’t be one of those couples who don’t have sex for months at a time.
When sex isn’t a problem for a couple, it constitutes 5 percent of their relationship. When it isa problem, it becomes 95 percent of their relationship. Keep it within that 5 percent. It’s good for you and it’s good for your relationship.
