I think that when you look back to the beginning parts of your relationship, it can help equalize the lows that you will inevitably face. This can be done in a number of ways, but my favorite is the most simple: time. What are the things that you did together that made you truly realize that this person is someone whom you want to spend time with? What made you both laugh so hard that you cried? When did you share your fears together? All of these things are rooted in the time you spend together. Spending more uninterrupted time together increases intimacy, betters communication, and allows you to truly appreciate each other and remember why you fell in love in the first place.

It’s not always easy, and on nights when I’m on a deadline, it can even seem impossible.
