    Write him a love letter and take him out on a date - just like life before kids.

     

    Check out what you might like to do together - a course or something that is of interest to both of you.

     

    Go to the garden shop and buy plants and dig in the dirt together

     

    Choose a book and read it together - aloud in turns in bed before you turn out the lights  - or leave them on whatever.

     

    Find a new set of walking trails and head off together with a thermos and camera

     

    These are the things I would do - don't know what you are into Abley - but it can be very simple things just about being together

    Hello

    Begin the relearn the art of talking and taking time together. "Quality time" as the Americans say.

    If you can afford it, plan a holiday away together for this purpose!

    Sorry - a friend of mine uses the term "time to connect" or after a period, even just hours away from each other "time to re-connect" - this is key. Time spent makes people feel valued - spbd

    How about learning a new skill, one that he will certainly notice and appreciate? Perhaps learn to cook his favourite food?  I always find that food and a wine is a sure fire hit in my house and my hubby is very in to his Thai food.

    Hi there, is there something that you are your partner both wished you could have done together like dance lessons or a language course. Or how about discovering a city or place together that neither of you have been to, walk down roads whithout following a map to see what you would find.

     

    Reading all of these posts makes me want to try some of them out! Good luck Mooge
