Is it time to devote some attention to your relationship these holidays?
The holidays are often a stressful time for people, but it’s easy to forget this once they arrive. If you’re in a relationship, you may find yourself getting frustrated with your partner for no particular reason, or you notice you’re fighting more than usual. These feelings are actually common.
You may have less time to spend with your partner, greater financial obligations, and more social demands than at other times of the year. But you can use the holidays to improve your relationship, by making small but meaningful efforts together and separately.
Here are the 5 easy tips:
1. Schedule one-on-one time
2. Take time out from family commitments
3. Schedule sex and make time for intimacy
4. Deal with conflict with respect and fight fair
5. Take time away from your devices so you can connect
Through implementing at least one of these simple tips might make the holidays a little brighter for your relationship this year.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSE 9TH MARCH
PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THANKS
RESIDENTIAL INTENSIFICATION PLAN CHANGE 43.
10 METRE BUILDINGS ONE METRE FROM THE BOUNDARY!
PLEASE HAVE YOUR SAY ON WHAT HUTT CITY COUNCIL IS PROPOSING FOR OUR CITY.

(The photo below is only showing you a two storey building not a three storey building.
www.huttcity.govt.nz...
This plan change could cause loss of sunlight especially in the winter, dampness, loss of privacy, flooding problems, noise, properties devalued, traffic congestion and most of all our beautiful garden city will be ruined forever. We need balance in our city and small areas of two storey buildings is high enough in our earthquake prone city and building apartments in the CBD overlooking the river will be a solution for the CBD and help retail businesses in the city. Hutt City needs to desperately fill up the empty shops along High Street and Queens Drive to make our city thrive again and building apartments create more shoppers to the area.
