What do you do together (DP/DH) that makes you feel connected?

Just wondering what others do in their relationship that makes them feel connect to their partner? Anything even small like cooking together, a hobby, a chat after a long day but a time when you actually feel connected.

Watch The Repair Shop in bed after a crappy day.

When one of us is having a bath, the other one usually beings a brew and sits in the bathroom and chats - that's both of our favourite time to connect!

We also have various TV shows we'll watch an episode of together even if we've spent the rest of the day/evening doing our own thing - we'll meet at the sofa for a little date. We cook together a lot, too, and put music on and have a sing and a dance while we do.

Some days we don't do any of that though - it definitely varies. So I wouldn't worry too much if you're not having 'very official connection time' every day

I do miss sitting on the same sofa. DH has a dodgy back and our sofa is too squishy for him now. When we were first together we used to squash onto my little 2-seater in my old flat and he'd rub my feet while we watched telly - I'd love to do that every evening again.

If we go away for the weekend or on holiday we always have a day where we barely get out of bed, just lazing around watching tv in bed, getting room service, having long baths etc. I love that he can be as lazy as me sometimes Grin
