Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but for some, not all is roses and chocolates. We’re not talking about the multitude who will celebrate Singles Awareness Day on the 14th, but those couples who just don’t have “it” at the moment. Sometimes relationships hit a slow patch where nothing seems particularly exciting.
Thankfully, Julie Baumgardner, CEO of First Things First, has everyone covered. Her nonprofit is “dedicated to strengthening families and empowering relationships,” according to its website, and has been offering classes, events and advice in the community for 18 years.
GET OUT AND MOVE
“You need to do something physical together every day,” Baumgardner says, explaining that physical exercise stimulates the brain. When you get these good feelings with a partner, your brain associates them with that person.
