5 easy tips – how to use these Holidays to Improve Your Relationship

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Is it time to devote some attention to your relationship these holidays?
The holidays are often a stressful time for people, but it’s easy to forget this once they arrive. If you’re in a relationship, you may find yourself getting frustrated with your partner for no particular reason, or you notice you’re fighting more than usual. These feelings are actually common.
You may have less time to spend with your partner, greater financial obligations, and more social demands than at other times of the year. But you can use the holidays to improve your relationship, by making small but meaningful efforts together and separately.
Here are the 5 easy tips:
1. Schedule one-on-one time
2. Take time out from family commitments
3. Schedule sex and make time for intimacy
4. Deal with conflict with respect and fight fair
5. Take time away from your devices so you can connect
Through implementing at least one of these simple tips might make the holidays a little brighter for your relationship this year.

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
