My wife and I (42m/43f) have been married for 22 years, three kids 10-16. We were high school sweethearts. If you’ve followed my other posts, we’ve been on this journey for the last few months about really refocusing on our marriage, making sure we’ve got a strong emotional connection, and allowing that to drive physical intimacy. We got lost for a little while in just the day to day grind of life, but I’m happy to say we’ve taken some serious steps towards reconnecting.
Normally, I post about the wilder things we’ve done; if you’re interested in that, check out my other posts. This one is a SFW activity.
One thing that we both aligned on from using the Paired app to build a Heeter connection; we like getting little treats from each other, for example I’ll bring her a cherry Coke and some Reece’s cups. Just something that lets the other person know we’re thinking about them. So we came up with this idea. We’re going to Target together this afternoon (my wife really likes it there), each with a notecard with a list of items to find for the other person. We set a budget of $100 max. The point isn’t to spend a lot of money.
- Favorite drink
- Favorite snack
- Something with our favorite color
- Something we need
- Something to do together
- Something we want the other person to try
- Something that reminds us of the other person
I’ll let you know how it goes, but we’re excited to do this together!!
