I also think it's important that we look at kind of our rhythms as a couple, like really pay attention to how you greet each other in the morning. You know, do you greet each other with a smile? Do you greet each other with a, how was your sleep? You know, and maybe a little hug, a little kiss, that kind of builds that connection and that friendship. And also look at kind of how you connect through the day. I know for Dave and I, one way is we kind of build our friendship is through humor. I mean, we both, We love to laugh, right?
Yeah, laughing together is bonding. It's intimate.
It's very intimate. And like, we will, in this digital day and age, we will like send each other funny memes throughout the day. Like right now we have a Chiweenie named Chi Chi and we love her.
Which is half Chihuahua, half dachshund. Yes. She's got a little Chihuahua face and a long hot dog body.
And she's the cutest person.
She looks like a cartoon. She does. She's very, very sweet. So there's some accounts we follow of dogs that kind of look like her. Where's my French?
We called it Pips the Chi. Okay, and Pips looks just like Chi Chi. And so we like following Pips the Chi, and we'll send funny little memes about whatever Pips the Chi meme is for that day, and some other ones too. But we have so much fun with that. Or just The Office memes. Like, we love The Office. It's our favorite show of all time. And you know, we bond through like little interests we have and senses of humor. It just kind of builds our friendship.
