Goodbye rituals, like a goodnight kiss or saying goodbye before leaving for work, promote reliability, love, and closeness. How (and whether) you do a goodbye ritual is also a litmus test for your relationship. It measures the temperature and longevity of a relationship because it’s the glue and bridge to sex, passion, and conflict that will now bring you closer as a couple.

These rituals provide the partner a way to be seen, to ensure they are not invisible, and make it feel like you get him or her.

As a couple, you want all of the romance, but none of the stress. Wine, cuddling and conversations of the future make for a night to remember. If you want to make your night at home something a little fun, demonstrating a bit of effort without forcing the night, try creating your own wine pairing party. Use this as a jumping off point for a romantic evening for two.

Set The Mood

One reason that wine and romance go together is that they both require the same balance of seriousness and fun, never being demanding nor frivolous.

Stress is an inevitable part of life. Finding ways to manage and reduce relationship stress in your life is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your relationship.

Stress in a relationship can cause a type of feedback loop. If I’m stressed, it makes Katie, my wife, stressed. If Katie is getting stressed, then it makes me even more stressed. And further down the hole we go.

Although your marriage can be a source of stress in your life, which is totally normal, it is also the best tool you have to reduce stress.
