Need to connect more often?

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

With busy work schedules, family and friends to see, and maybe even kids to raise, it can be hard to find time to connect with your partner.

With busy work schedules, family and friends to see, and maybe even kids to raise, it can be hard to find time to connect with your partner.

Well, there's gotta be away. But how?

One of our most important pieces of advice for couples is to create Rituals of Connection, which are predetermined activities that you and your partner choose to do together:

Go for a short walk every morning, or have breakfast together.
Have a stress-reducing conversation in the evening.
Make a monthly date night at your favourite restaurant.
Or even spend five minutes before bed saying thanks for things you've done to support each other.

It doesn't really matter what you choose to do, as long as both you and your partner enjoy it, agree to it, do it regularly and consistently, and find that it brings you closer together.

Create as many rituals as you'd like, both big and small. Once those rituals are built into your lives, then you'll have created reliable ways for you and your partner to connect.

Council has successfully prosecuted a Lower Hutt company for failing to strengthen a residential building it owns in Petone.

Council has attempted to have the owner strengthen the building for a number of years. The 2016 Kaikoura quake and the growing scientific work around quake-prone buildings, and a lack of action on the owners part, prompted Council to take court action as a last resort.

Wondering kitty

Michelle from Belmont

Has anyone, around Belmont Domain, been seeing this little madam on a regular basis?
She's been away from home a lot more than usual and has put on a bit of weight - from what I suspect is extra feeding. Please let me know if you've seen her hanging around :)
