The SCARIEST Thing About Long-Term Relationships…

Is that people stop cultivating them.

Question: What do you do to consciously cultivate your relationships?

Relationships require ongoing care and attention. Just as a garden won't thrive without water, sunlight, and nurturing, a romantic partnership can wither without the investment of time and energy. We can get caught up in a myriad of life demands… work, family, and daily life, making it easy to neglect our most important connections.

Investing time and energy into your romantic relationship strengthens the bond between you and your partner. Quality time together allows you to deepen your connection, improve communication, foster understanding… and get closer.

Neglecting your romantic relationship can have detrimental effects. It can lead to emotional distance, resentment, and misunderstandings. Eventually, it may even result in the erosion of the relationship itself.

Real Talk: Sitting on the couch together while you both look at your phones is not quality time.

My guideline for couples is to plan alone time in the form of a “date night” once a week, and also “away weekends” together (for at least one night) on a quarterly basis. I also suggest getting away for a week (or at least five nights) once per year. [Read more about my recommendations here.]

Private Tantra Coaching is a fantastic way to build a date night into your schedule. A Tantra Workshop is also a great date! And a Tantra Retreat works perfectly as an annual getaway.

While it can be challenging to balance the demands of daily life, it is crucial to spend the time and energy needed to nurture your romantic relationship. The effort you put into it will not only strengthen your bond but also enhance your own happiness and well-being. So, tend to your relationship like a prized garden, and watch it bloom and flourish.
