Good tips ! Also for me as a believer /Christian I noticed closer I am to the Lord (Connected emotionally, mentally and Spiritually, then closer I am to my husband.
I love what you have just said there Joanna, it truly is the foundation of the relationship, it is a 3 cord rope.... hard to break when God is the centre of it all! Thank you for sharing, that is so beautiful ❤
I feel like all my videos address that. It’s about intentionality. If you want to feel connected, regain feelings of closeness and intimacy…you got to be intentional. Do the right things even when you don’t feel like it
@@chrisstaplehurst9674 there are lots of different options of you just search on Amazon.

Hi Eric!! Another brilliant video! I love how simple you make it sound whilst highlighting the importance of being intentional.... aaaahhhh, it all comes down to communication, isn't it? It is an ART in itself! 🥰 I loved your two golden nuggets 😉Guess what?! I find the cards with questions such a vibrant and exciting way to get the good stuff out, it would be so fun. The way I look at it, that no matter what, there is an enjoyment element overall because both are speaking AND one always learns something new about the other person, we can learn how to be better to each other and more intentional for all the good stuff... and who knows?! It may open the opportunities wherein one can help the other improve in a certain area. It is like... your strengths are my weaknesses and viceversa, hence when we accept and embrace that, we want to improve for the other person... we are open, willing and intentional in the learning and improving journey for the betterment of the relationship and each other! Eric, which cards do you recommend?? I thought I'd find it in your description but I did not. The cards have really fascinated me indeed 😂you can tell, can you not?! 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for all the content you make, it is so helpful and enriching. I love sharing what I learn from you and also share your videos. Keep them coming Eric!!
@@RelationShots Hehehehe, Thank you! You are a gem 😁You now know who will be buying these cards, don't you?! 😄 I am going to be a little cheeky 😊 I am also going to get a set for my parents! 😉 I think and hope it will bring some sparks and laughter, what do you think?! One is never too old to discover something about the other person! 😄 Thank you again Eric ❤
Can you provide some advice for people who work opposite days? I’m a nurse and husband is a firefighter. We have one day a week off together and an hour in the mornings that I work that we actually see each other. I feel completely disconnected and he doesn’t see the issue and says this is life. It’s like we’re on separate journeys and I just feel lonely in my marriage and unwanted because our current work schedule doesn’t bother him.
It seems he doesn’t have the same need or desire for connection that you do. I would say with your work schedules you definitely need to be very intentional to connect. Can you prioritize some together time on the one day you have together? You could also be intentional with 15 min a day during that one hour in the mornings to do something that connects you: praying together or doing a devotional if you are people of faith. Watching a video together and talking about the subject matter. Purchase a box of question cards for couples and each pull out 2 cards and answer the questions. Whatever it might be that will facilitate some connection for you. Come up with a plan and put it on the calendar and protect that time
My partner has 2 kids + we only see eachother every other week because he has his kids but now it seems he will also have his kids on Saturdays too which really affects us having alone time. I feel quite annoyed by that + when we are together he's distracted + talks about himself a lot + raely asks me questions about myself so I feel unseen + disconnected from him. He also complains a lot about his life which is draining AF. I'm not sure how to navigate this. I am getting quite frustrated by it all because it feels like I am getting crumbs of attention + time.
I am not married yet, but im saving this for the future! Thanks a lot 🙏🏾

That’s true!

Sharing your high and low is great for taking in Touch with your kids.
Please do a video about checked out partners. Partners who have lost hope in the marriage because they feel like we don’t have a connection

Hi Eric, I'm in UK. Do you have any links to the packs of cards for couples to emotionally connect, like on Amazon. Ta!

Guess it helps to include some links to question cards if I’m going to say it, eh? 😁 I’ve added a couple to the description area now

What’s his response when you share these frustrations? Is he willing to set boundaries, guard time for the two of you and be attentive?
