How to immediately improve your connection to your partner.

Put Away your Mobile phone

Over 95% of the couples I see have a complaint about their partner's over use of their mobile phone.

Repeated complaints are

• Spending time on their phone while watching television together.
• Overuse of social media, mainly facebook and instagram.
• Always having the phone switched on for work and immediately responding to any incoming email or phone call.
• Overuse of their phone while away together on holiday.
• Surfing on their phone while in bed together at night.
• Taking their phone everywhere - even into the bathroom.

I suggest to all couples that mobile phone should be silenced and put aside at the start of the evening and left alone until morning. 

Every time you pick up your mobile phone when you are in the presence of your partner you are effectively saying "what is on this phone is more important than connection with you". 

Mobile phone checking can quickly become an addiction with a recent survey suggesting the average Brit checks their phones an average of 28 times a day that is at least once per hour, more than 10,000 times per year!!

Put away your phones in the evening and reach for connection, talk about your day, go for a walk together, play a board game, cook a meal together. 

Happy couples stay connected, they spend quality time together and take the time to really know each other. Turn off your phone today and watch the immediate difference it makes to your relationship.
