From time-to-time, do you find yourself in a relationship slump? Do you feel like you and your partner are no longer "connecting" as deeply as you once were? Just as there may be many root causes for this sense of isolation, there are also many ways to get out of this slump. A tried and true measure in my relationship has been learning how to dance with my partner.



Dancing. Really? Dancing? Yes, dancing.



Relationships tend to fray a bit because couples discuss missing three things. They bemoan the decrease in intimacy, the cite the lack of fun that used to be present in the relationship and they also state that "together time" has diminished over the years.



INCREASES TOGETHER TIME

Together time is an important aspect of being in a relationship. Family time is important, but one-on-one together time with your loved one is also crucial. All this recent discussions about "date nights" is with merit. Learning how to dance, taking lessons together, or cutting up the rug once you have taught yourself could provide an excellent reason for a date!



Dancing will take some time (it may be two date nights over the course of the week). And it will take some hard work. Both of you should be committed to the process of dancing. It replaces the partnership and puts the two of you working towards a common goal.
