A common story—and a quiet cry from modern relationships.

When I check in with couples between sessions, I often ask:

What’s shifted? What felt good? What did you try?

More often than not, I hear:

“We meant to… but we’ve just been so busy.”

And I get it. Life is full.
Work, parenting, finances, aging parents, school drop-offs, groceries, the dog, the laundry, the list that never ends. Of course you’re tired. Of course you’re stretched. And yet…

It shows in your relationship.

• You miss each other.
• You feel disconnected.
• You long for warmth, closeness, ease.
  But under all that exhaustion, there’s also love—and commitment. After all, you’re here. You’ve made space for counselling. You want things to be better.

Start Small: The Power of Micro-Moments

What if deep connection didn’t require a perfectly planned date night?

What if it started with:

• 5 quiet minutes in the bathroom, just the two of you
• A warm text midday: “Thinking of you”
• A silly meme, a flirty comment, a hand on their back
• A soft moment before bed: “How’s your heart tonight?”

These tiny efforts—what I call micro-moments—are the small deposits that build your emotional bank account. They don’t solve everything. But they soften the edges, rebuild trust, and remind you that you’re on the same team.

Try One Today

Pause. Reach out. Say something kind, curious, playful, or real.
Because even in busy seasons, love still wants to breathe.
