Exercise together.

1. Be proactive- plan time together. It really doesn’t matter what you do
2. Communicate when you are together. Even if you spend time together but don’t communicate you will not receive the most for your time spent
3. Don’t assume your mate knows what you enjoy doing. Help him with ideas and work together to make your marriage really sizzle.
