Reach over; touch your partner’s hand. While spending time with them, just look at them; admire them, their laugh, their smile, their voice, and their expression.

Give them a hug and a kiss. Ask about their day, how they are feeling, or what’s on their mind.

All of the statements above are some of the many examples of the little things in a relationship, which are very important.

You both need to remember to laugh, have fun, have tickle and prank wars, go out for dates, enjoy each other’s company, and do everything that makes your couple identify what it is.

It is very important to make sure that you don’t lose sight of that. After all, the two of you are your own person, and when you add you and your partner up, you get your relationship which is your couple identity.
