Readers’ Tips for Keeping the Love Alive, Installment II (originally published in True Romance, April 2006)
A few years ago, my husband and I found ourselves drifting apart. While we started leaving notes for one another in an attempt to communicate, I knew something had to change. Now we set aside one night a week for “Tea and Talk.” I brew a pot of tea and light a candle. We sit on the couch with only the light from the candle, hold hands, sip our tea or glass of wine, and talk for an hour or so. It’s amazing how much we’ve reconnected, and after 36 years of marriage we have fallen in love all over again.
