“The Five Magic Hours” (from Dr. John Gottman of the ‘Love Lab’ in Seattle) is for those of you who are busy:
– Two minutes every morning, eye contact, kisses and hugs.
– 20 minutes every evening to talk about your day (10 minutes to talk, and 10 minutes to listen very, very well).
– A two hour date EVERY week (take turns planning it, and no talking about your kids).
We all need and to be seen, heard, touched, and appreciated.
Your kids really will survive being without you one evening a week (and actually thrive as you become a happier couple).
Try it for 30 days, and let me know what you notice.
