  1. Make time to talk with each other without the TV, kids or background noise.
  2. Share in activities you both like, at least once a month.
  3. Aim to discover a new thing every week about your partner.
  4. Find out the things you each find difficult to talk about.
  5. Tell your partner the small things your partner does that you appreciate, even if it is that they put the toilet seat down, or polish the car well.
  6. Don’t rely on your partner to create happiness for you. Create your own.
  7. Find the rituals that you do on a daily and weekly basis that nurture your relationship.
  8. Take a holiday together at least once a year, even if it’s only for a night at a caravan park.
  9. Be prepared to forgive yourself and your partner when mistakes are made… then forget about them.
  10. Remember that you’re never too old to hear the words “I love you”. Say them often.
