Gifts for a Healthier and Happier Relationship

This holiday season, if you're planning on getting your partner a gift, consider your partner's love language. Need some help getting started? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered 👇

🙏 Acts of service

Treat them to something special where they can sit back, relax and enjoy. Maybe it's a home cooked meal + clean home.

🥰 Quality time

Plan a date where you can spend time doing something together that actually sparks joy for both of you. Maybe that's a scavenger hunt in a little town, or a visit to the local skating rink followed by your favourite warm drinks and a bath.

🔥 Physical touch

Set the mood, have some essential oils, and test out your massage skills, or something a little spicier that they'd enjoy.

📝 Words of affirmation

Compose a letter that shares your appreciation for them, or series of notes that would reveal themselves over a few days during the holiday.

🎁 Gifts

Get them something they would really like or that they've been asking for recently. Remember, it's the thought and intention that counts.

Or, combine them all together

One year, Lindsey created an ‘advent calendar’ with each day in December unlocking a different note that had words of affirmation or an activity. It hit all five of the love languages, and sometimes at the same time!

What gift would speak most to you this holiday season?

Make it easier for each other by sending this article their way and say:

"Hey, I want to try to something different this year. Let's get gifts that actually speak to our love languages. My love language is _______. What's yours?"

Remember: meaningful gifts are the best kind of gifts!

Let's normalize being intentional and conscious about our relationships.

Sometimes you just need a little nudging, coaching, and feedback to go from stressed out to feeling in the zone in your relationship.

We’re not two halves, we’re two wholes sharing a path and we’re inviting you to join the movement!
