The five types of connection

Every relationship is comprised of countless moments of connection. Happier relationships are characterized by the fact that they have more frequent loving moments of connection. Here are a few ways to shift your relationship’s moments:

To shift a superficial connection to a loving one → ask them a new or different question.

To shift a distracted connection to a loving one → give them your undivided attention.

To shift a competitive connection to a loving one → acknowledge their reality and ask them to acknowledge your own.

To shift an unbalanced connection to a loving one → set a boundary about what is acceptable and good for you.

To nurture a loving connection, savor it, attend to it, and enjoy it.
