Compliment Your Partner
The simmering sparks that "burn" your connection with your partner can be sadness, frustration, and general frustrations. Always strive to see the positive aspects of one another. Did you know that it can take up to 20 positive things to balance out the negative impacts of one? Therefore, compliment your partner often, even if it's just for something minor like her new shoes or his new blue shirt; "I'd like to thank them for aiding me". Call their office and tell them "you are fantastic". Make sure the comments and gratitude you express are honest, precise, and accompanied by a "smiling" expression.
By doing this regularly, in addition to encouraging your partner to be happy, you are also putting yourself at ease. After all, it's the beginning of a long-term relationship. It won't be long before you realize that it's always the right time for the small acts of a relationship.
