What can you do in five minutes?

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

"Five minutes" is a common response to "How long will this take?" Of course, it's almost never an accurate response. It will usually take longer and, as a colonel shouts to his troops in Black Hawk Down, "Nothing takes five minutes!"

Well, that's not true, at least not in relationships. Five minutes is plenty of time for you and your partner to connect on a daily basis, and in a number of ways:


Express physical affection, like kissing, hugging, holding hands, or cuddling
Talk about specific ways in which you appreciate each other Tell your partner one thing you admire about them, and why
Say thanks for the little things you've done that day to support each other
Or, if you're feeling up to it, have a quickie!


Many of us lead busy lives with hectic schedules, but those tiny bits of free time, those five minutes here or there, are great windows of opportunity to connect with your partner, even in small ways.
