Taking for granted

Taking each other for granted

When you have a lot on your plate, it’s easy to fall in the trap of taking each other for granted. Before you even realize it, you only discuss the mundane essentials of everyday life or eat your meals staring at your phones. This is among the top relationship problems that can make partners drift apart.

You can counter it by making a sincere effort to set aside some quality time together every day. Schedule regular date nights. Text back-and-forth throughout the day. Or institute a no-gadgets rule before bedtime every day.
