Whether you’re a young adult balancing an early career alongside a budding relationship, or in midlife and juggling the demands of family and work responsibilities – you likely know it can be challenging to find time to nurture romantic relationships.

Often, the key to success is building regular opportunities for connection into your daily routines. Research has shown that couples with relationship rituals report more positive emotions and greater relationship satisfaction and commitment than those without them.

For a future Globe and Mail story, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for people to share the habits that help maintain strong bonds with their partner. Is your romantic relationship in a rut – or going strong thanks to small gestures or routines that help you and your partner stay connected?

Tell us about the rituals or regular activities that help sustain your relationship, from date nights or evening walks to sharing a hobby or favourite pastime.

Tell us your story via the box below or send us an e-mail at audience@globeandmail.com. If you’d like to include a photo, submit it using this link.
