The Daily Intimacy Menu

Small practices that keep emotional intimacy alive during chaotic seasons:

• Morning launch — 2 minutes: share one thing you're looking forward to or dreading today
• Reunion ritual — 6-second kiss + "Tell me something" when you reconnect after work
• Stress-reducing conversation — 20 minutes: talk about life outside the relationship, not logistics
• Gratitude drop — one specific thing you appreciated about them today, said out loud
• Bedtime debrief — 5 minutes: not "what did you do" but how are you feeling?
