Expert Strategies to Reconnect
Intention Over Perfection
You don’t need a grand romantic gesture—just one meaningful check-in a day. Try: “How are you doing—really?” or “Is there one small thing I can do to help today?”

A lot of tension hides in “unseen” work. Make invisible tasks visible and divide them like teammates, not competitors.
