Our Atlanta couples counselors know that committing yourself to a relationship can be the most rewarding and challenging thing you will ever do. Sometimes I feel that relationships bring out the best and the worst in us. If done right, relationships cause us to love, learn, and grow. But with all of that come conflict, strain, and sometimes pressure as we face our imperfections and the imperfections in our spouse.
Noone is perfect and all relationships experiences ebs and flows. Our Atlanta couples counselors know that relationships benefit from routine activities designed to help your marriage withstand some of the difficult times. Some things that help build relationships include date night, fun activities, having deep conversations, playing together, laughing together, and anything else that builds positive and genuine connection.
We figured it would be fun to give you a list of connection building questions that you can try with your spouse. Our Atlanta couples counselors ask some of these in sessions, but you don’t have to wait to see a marriage counselor to get working on your connection. Feel free to start now.
