Connect to Keep Each Other in the Loop

Do you ever reunite with your significant other after an eventful day and find yourself too drained to rehash the details of your day, even if they were significant?  A dear friend recently shared that she and her husband forward each other emails that contain relevant details about various things that they are involved in (no confidential information, of course) so that they can give each other a general sense of what is happening in their day.  Then, when they see each other at night, they don’t have to start from scratch.  Instead, they can focus on enjoying each other’s company and chatting more casually since a baseline of insight and understanding has been shared on each other’s daily activities.  Whether forwarding an email, leaving a voice message, or sending a picture, often times touching base with your spouse during the day, may allow the evening connection to flow more easily and naturally.  Why not give it a try?
