Relationships - The on-Ramp to Connection

The habit of spending more time doing something together is not going to resolve this unless it is coupled with emotionally meaningful activities for one or both partners at the same time. If your way of connecting is through deep, emotionally intimate conversations, whatever routine you've built into your life has to include that. For other people, it's sexuality. That emotional intimacy is really strongly correlated with physical intimacy. Even if you're talking all day about feelings, it is not really going to change things for you without that physical component.
