Poet John Donohue said, “bless the space between us”.
Think of your relationship as living in the space between you and remember to take care of that space. Everything you say and everything you do affects the space (your relationship): the way you look at each other, the tone of your voice, the words you speak, the way that you touch one another, if you smile, if you roll your eyes and everything else. I am adding that if you do this and model relationship to your children, you will be amazed at how quickly they will learn to be in a healthy vibrant relationship themselves.
