together redefine rest
In modern life, taking time for a break together is often replaced by phones and social networks. According to Dr. Chandni Tugnait, Psychotherapist and Life Coach at Gateway of Healing Training Institute (India): "Couples should learn to manage their emotions together, such as practicing mindful breathing or watching the sunset together in silence".
She believes that this quiet time helps the nervous system relax, reduce stress and restore natural connection between two people. Just sitting together for 10 minutes without talking much but feeling the presence together can be more effective than a long conversation.
In addition, synchronizing emotions every week is also very important. People should spend about 15 minutes sharing their feelings instead of focusing on solving the problem. That was when you asked each other: What are you ( yourself) worried about these days? - simple but helpful questions," said Dr. Tugnait.
Protecting common space and respecting loneliness
According to experts, each relationship has three spaces: your, mine and ours. Our space, where two people share their feelings, is easily encroached by work or electronic devices. Therefore, she recommends setting limits such as "not discussing serious things in the bedroom" or "not using the phone for dinner".
In addition, Dr. Tugnait emphasizes the importance of emotional hygiene. Instead of enduring the other person's negative emotions, each person should learn to maintain a healthy distance, show empathy without getting exhausted.
Silence is no less valuable than words. Sometimes what your partner needs is just a handshake or a peaceful presence by your side, she added. Respecting silence and allowing each other their own space is the way to nurture emotional sustainability.
The above tips not only help couples overcome stress but also nurture a healthy, lasting love. When each person knows how to listen, respect and connect peacefully, the relationship will naturally become a place of healing instead of a source of stress.
