9. Message to the future
“My partner and I make videos where we tell our future selves not to get angry at each other. It helps us release the tension when we get into a pointless argument and don’t want to stay angry. It is one nice reminder that hugging and forgiving is a lot more fun than being angry for no reason.”
10. Open communication
“From day one, my fiancé and I have been doing what we call ‘open communication’. When one of us feels like the other person isn’t sharing how they really feel, we literally say ‘open communication’ and the other MUST answer honestly. This way it is much easier to move from a problem to a solution or to explain where our feelings are coming from. Answers vary from “I’m frustrated because I’ve cleaned the bathroom, cooked dinner and. did the laundry and you were already complaining when you were doing the dishes” to “I’m not in a bad mood, I just have a headache”.
11. Sex Calendar
“We plan sex and set dates. It sounds boring, but it’s the complete opposite. You have the time to prepare, to be rested, and the anticipation makes it better. We still do it spontaneously, but that makes it a lot more interesting ! We also communicate better and talk more about what we want, our needs and desires.”
