Many couples are deeply in love to begin with and even thank their stars for having a supportive person in their life, but with passage of time, the perfect couples too can feel something amiss if they do not give each other the attention they deserve. You don’t need a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, a birthday or an anniversary to work on your bond if you take out ‘we time’ every single day and spend some special moments together.

“Love is not just about grand gestures, but about the small, everyday acts of kindness and appreciation that keep the fire burning,” says Arouba Kabir, mental health professional.

“Relationships are built on love, trust, and mutual appreciation. Making your partner feel special every day is an important part of maintaining a strong, healthy relationship. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive – it’s the little things that count, says Enso Wellness Founder Arouba Kabir.
