Being here, now, helps you fully experience your own feelings and thoughts, listen more deeply to your mate, and respond with your whole heart and soul.
Zen Secret #3: Put your cares on an ice floe. The next time you and your spouse do something enjoyable together—whether it’s sharing a meal, heading out for a date, or taking a walk—banish distracting worries ahead of time. Beforehand, sit quietly for five minutes, close your eyes, and think about the things that worry or preoccupy you and that could divert your attention during your outing. Then imagine loading your cares onto a drifting ice floe in the Arctic Ocean for the next hour or so. Promise you'll come back to reclaim them later. The technique will help you relax and focus on couple time.
