Key Points:
Being side by side, holding hands, making eye contact allows our body to feel more relaxed and releases chemicals that bring connection between us and our spouse.
The power of presence says I'm here, I value you, I see you, and I want to connect with you, even if I may not have a lot of energy to connect.
The more deposits you put in your “love bank”, the more it can withstand withdrawals.
Values keep you anchored and moving forward.
The more you communicate clearly and kindly it will help to eliminate conflict and live with greater intentionality.
Very simple ways to create a culture of respect are by listening to what your partner has to say, putting your phone down, and just simply giving eye contact.
