One of the reasons couples grow apart in marriages is due to the absence of connection and proper

communication

between them. Busy schedules often do not permit spouses to spend sufficient time with each other.
Early risers can make the best use of morning hours by cultivating habits that let them spend some

quality time

together. According to research, a regular morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy levels, and improve productivity at work.

Couples who bond in the morning, bond for life.
Here are some of the early

morning habits

that can

boost connection

between partners.

Conversation over tea

A cup of coffee or tea together can stir up many a conversation. Make sure not to discuss work-related stuff in this window. Talk about your innermost thoughts, shared memories and your expectations from each other. Sipping a tea together in the morning is one of the best

relationship habits

you can ever cultivate.

Morning walk

Spending some ‘we’ time in natural surroundings amid the chirping of birds and lush green settings can boost release of happy hormones and trigger positive conversations. Morning walks not only improve your overall well-being but also

emotional intimacy

between couples. Going for regular walks together is the perfect opportunity for some quality time together, and can also keep you fit and healthy.

Feel grateful to be in each other’s company

A

gratitude ritual

between couples can bring more rewards than you would think. Be it appreciating each other’s presence and contribution in life or praising your

partner

for the hard work they put in, feeling genuine gratitude for each other can build an intimate bond between the couple, a connection that withstands the pressure of a rough patch.

Plan your day

Instead of being in your own zone and planning your day all by yourself, you can do the same with your partner, as after all you are a team. You can also welcome their feedback to your plans and vice versa. Supporting each other at work front will help you stay resilient even at work place. This will give couples another opportunity to strengthen their communication.

Prepare breakfast together

Do not make your first meal of the day a hurried affair. Take your time to fix a nutritious breakfast for yourself and enjoy it together. You can also help each other in kitchen. This not only reduces burden of this household duty, but also gives you a chance to connect.
