Has your relationship gotten “too comfortable” and fallen into a bit of a rut? Want to feel more connected to your partner? Feel closer again? Then fear not – as couples swear by this daily power hour… And it could be exactly what your relationship needs!
See Here’s The Deal
It can be tricky to keep relationships fresh and exciting. The longer you’ve been together and the busier or more comfortable you get – the easier it gets to fall into the “same old routine.”
For many couples it looks like this – you get up, go to work, come home, sort out your family, get your chores done, eat dinner, scroll through social media, watch tv then head to bed.
Sure, if you have healthy relationship habits, you’ll make some sort of time to catch up about each others’ day.
But – especially when it comes to the weekdays – rarely do you find time for quality time in your relationship.
You just slip into bad habits in a relationship – but habits that aren’t so bad you especially notice them and nothing too “outside the norm” of what most couples do either… But that’s what then keeps you stuck!
I mean, in the US alone, 86% of couples wish they spent more quality time with their partner and – embarrassingly – 1 in 3 people say that sharing social media posts while sat in the same room qualifies as quality time. (As if!)
The thing is, over time, this lack of daily connection creeps up. But that’s why couples swear by this daily power hour, because it’s an absolute game-changer…
What Is The Daily Power Hour?
The Couples Daily Power Hour is something that we have developed on our relationship coaching programmes, for couples feeling disconnected.
The concept is simple – it’s all about finding time, every day, to connect with your partner for an hour… No phones, no distractions, just quality time between you and your partner.
This can become part of your evening routine – taking time to have a power hour together before bed, or – where your schedules don’t align, waking up an hour earlier in the morning to do it then.
See, what you actually DO together during this Couples Power Hour time, is entirely up to you.
- You could go for a walk, walking and talking, to get the endorphins flowing as you connect.
- You could lie together in bed, asking intimate questions (and seeing where it leads!)
- Maybe it’s a power hour every day, as soon as you get in from work… And maybe cooking together becomes part of that; that’s your thing.
You can also do the same thing each time, so it becomes a habit, a routine. Or, you can mix it up. Try out both methods and see which you prefer.
The simple key is that you’re really CONNECTING during this time – your partner becomes your sole focus, your main priority and it’s all about doing something (or nothing at all), just the two of you, for the two of you.
Why Do Couples Swear By This Daily Power Hour?
Couples swear by this daily power hour because it’s so damn powerful.
Even if this is the ONLY time you get together every day, it’s invaluable time that really helps you feel closer to your partner.
See, there are different types of intimacy in a relationship – physical, emotional, intellectual, the list goes on. Each person also has their own individual relationship needs, too.
But by finding even just an hour a day, to spend quality time together (combining it with another activity as well, if you need), you’re able to keep the relationship happy, healthy, and strong.
Your partner deserves this time. You deserve this time. And your relationship needs it. So what are you waiting for?! Be sure to give it a go…
Could It Be Just What Your Relationship Needs?
See, life will always be busy, there will always be a reason (or excuse) not to do it – but you are ultimately the one in control of your life, your time management and your schedule.
Try this for at least 2 weeks and make a note of the difference, then see if it’s something you want to stick with.
It could be JUST what your relationship needs (without even knowing just how much it needs it!)
Best of luck.
Love,
