Here are two exercises I share with couples.
Love - this exercise requires you to say out loud to your partner three times a day something about your partner you love or feel grateful for, even if you have to draw on your memory banks, just do it. This practice opens the neural pathways in your brain to receive and give more love and counteracts the negativity bias we can so easily slip into when our relationship is challenging us.
Safe Space - this exercise is about creating a safe space between you both. A safe space in relationship has to do with feeling physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritual safe, however it's more than that, it has to do with feeling like you can come home to yourself with your partner. I understand you may not feel this at times. Therefore it may be useful to ask yourself and your partner, What is a safe space for you???
