Ways to reduce distance in relationships
Busy schedules often become the cause of distance between working couples. However, long conversations are not required to keep your relationship strong. Kevin Ashford, a relationship coach with over 20 years of experience, suggests some small but effective tips that can breathe new life into your relationship.
’60-second’ emotional check-in
Deep conversations don’t always require a long time. Sometimes a simple question, like ‘How are you?’ can also bring big changes. It keeps you connected to each other despite fatigue and removes misunderstandings.
The ’10-second’ magic
According to Kevin, words are not required to grow closer. Hugging each other for 10 seconds relaxes your nervous system. It makes you feel that you are always there for each other, without saying anything.
working together
Sitting on the same sofa or bed, reading your books or playing on the phone also strengthens the relationship. Kevin calls this ‘being together even when alone’. It gives a feeling of security and peace while respecting each other’s space.
holding hands while sleeping
When words run out and fatigue takes over, just hold each other’s hands and fall asleep. According to Kevin, ‘This is the simplest way to say that we are a team.’ This small touch adds depth to the relationship even on low energy days.
