Dr. John Gottman, the nation’s leading marriage researcher, suggests that couples hoping to spark romance need to turn towards each other even when they don’t feel like it.

Yes, even when you’re exhausted or irritated. Friendship is absolutely essential to thriving marriages. In relationships that thrive, partners consistently make and receive bids for positive connection.

Here are 16 practical ways for you to start turning towards each other:
Schedule a next date night and keep the plans a surprise. The anticipation will spark a renewed sense of fun.

Send flirty texts to each other throughout the day. Trust me, your partner will appreciate it.

Make foreplay a priority. Make more room in your calendar to make out before sex.

Be affectionate and playful with each other in front of others. It’s not enough to just brag to each other in private, it’s significant to compliment your spouse in public.

Start a new hobby together. Brainstorm some ideas and create a list of shared interests.

Show appreciation by saying “Thank you,” and “I appreciate all you do.” This goes a long way in showing respect to each other.

Take a walk hand in hand. Nothing gets the blood moving and the connection juices flowing like taking a walk around the block.

Focus on the positive qualities of each other by writing them down and posting it around the house.

Plan a vacation together – no kids allowed. It doesn’t even have to be extravagant, but time alone is so important.

Dream together which helps build security. Have you created a dream board where you jot down your goals or things you want to do together? Go for it!

Pay attention to your spouse more than you pay attention to your phone & TV. Less screen time, more face time.

Reminisce about your favorite date nights, wedding day, honeymoon, and travels together by pulling out old photos.

Learn something new about your spouse. Pick up a deck of Love Map cards which contain fun questions to ask each other. Stay thirsty, I mean curious, my friends.

Buy a new board game and have a game night together.

Cheap Petrol

Matey from Naenae

I was in Palmerston North yesterday and the cheapest 91 was 186.9 at BP, then on the way back it was $183.9 at Levin. Got back to Wellington and it was $2.03. Can't understand why we are being ripped off like this

Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.

And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Wellington’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 415 missions keeping Kiwis safe.

Stay safe in Chopper Country.
