2. Share your day.
It may be the same-old, same-old for you, but even so, “it’s important to know what is happening in each other’s lives when you are apart,” says Doares. So to strengthen your relationship, ask about your partner’s day and share the details of your own.
“Don’t make this perfunctory,” Doares warns, “and be present when your partner is sharing. If you can make this conversation last more than a few minutes, you’ll get past the superficial and into what the events really mean to each other. It is in these moments that you are building intimacy.”
