SFGate’s Amy Graff provides relationship advice from Elizabeth Dixon from the Kaiser Permanente Employee Assistance Program (excerpt):
Dixon says the key is to think of marriage as a bank account. You’re constantly writing checks and making withdrawals . . . . “But you have to make some deposits or else your account will run dry,” Dixon says. . . .
Here are Dixon’s top tips on how to make deposits into your “marriage account” . . . .
Take notice.
Be careful of the ‘but.’
Focus on the positive.
Schedule time together.
Do exciting things.
Talk intimately.
Practice small acts of love.
Get physical, often.
