Allow me to share with you our secrets to intimacy, making us last for 25 years.

To married couples, try this, and you will thank me. During the pandemic, we watched a reel of a psychologist who said, "The strongest couples are held together not by passion, but by rituals." We decided to try it because Emil and I noticed that every evening, in our bedrooms, we would drift into their own phone screens, our conversations got shorter, and the passion and warmth faded. So Emil and I decided to try something simple: before bed - no talking about work, no phones. Just say three sentences to each other: what felt good today, what made us laugh, and what we're grateful for.
