1. DEVELOP A STRONGER BOND As you spend more time together working out, eating healthy, and practicing healthful habits, you will begin to create an even stronger and unbreakable bond. Going for walks, practicing yoga, taking a healthy cooking class, and going to bed at the same time are all great ways to live in wellness and strengthen your connection. 2. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY Who is better to have your back than your partner? Think about those days that you’re unmotivated, lacking energy, or just having a bad day.
