How to Get Back in Sync with Your Partner & Reconnect

So, you feel disconnected or like something in your relationship isn’t right…and perhaps you wonder:

Is it normal to be out of sync with your partner?

Yes, feeling out of sync with your partner is completely normal at times. Life’s demands, stress, and changing circumstances can all contribute to moments of disconnection in relationships.

We’d say social media plays a key role. As stated in a Wild Tree Wellness article:

“Despite the many technological advances we have today that allow us to contact each other very easily, we are feeling more disconnected than ever!”

Still, keep your head up! Our experience with love and relationships taught us that no matter the problem (if there is one), there is always a solution.

We have people coming to us for advice on reconnecting with someone all the time, but you know what…the problem is often just in their heads.

So, before we dive into the main topic, let’s see what it means to be in sync with your partner.

Signs You’re in Sync with Each Other

Before we explore how to reconnect, let’s look at what being in sync actually means. When you’re in harmony with your partner, you’ll notice certain telltale signs that show your connection is strong and that there is true love in your relationship.

» You finish each other’s sentences

» Your body language mirrors one another

» You laugh at the same jokes

» You’re comfortable with silence together

» You know what the other is thinking without words

» Your energy levels match throughout the day

» You have similar sleep patterns

» You’re on the same page about future plans

» You support each other’s goals without jealousy

» You can sense when something’s wrong with them

» Your intimacy feels natural and effortless

» You miss each other when apart, even for short periods

Recognizing these signs can help you appreciate the moments of connection in your relationship. Now, let’s look at how to strengthen that bond when you feel it slipping.

What You Can Do to Get Back in Sync with Your Partner

Feeling out of step with your partner doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed. We’ve seen countless couples reconnect and rediscover their spark. Here are some proven ways to get back in sync with your significant other.

Carve Out Quality Time: You Need It

We often forget to prioritize our relationships amidst life’s chaos. Set aside dedicated time for your partner. This could be as simple as a daily walk together or a hot bath at night. During this time, focus solely on each other without distractions.

Not long ago, a lady who felt she and her husband were drifting apart due to their busy schedules reached out for advice.

We suggested they spend just five minutes each morning fully present with each other. No phones, no kids, no distractions. Within a week, she said they felt more in tune with each other’s needs.

Try it, and you’ll be surprised by how effective it is. This step is one we apply even when the task is restarting a dying relationship.

Rediscover the Power of Touch

Physical touch is a powerful way to reconnect, and we don’t necessarily refer to your sex life.

Hold hands, hug, or give each other a massage before going to bed. These small acts of physical affection will help you feel closer.

Several years ago, the Kinsey Institute published an article about the power of physical touch…and it starts like this:

“Study after study has found that couples who touch each other more tend to be happier. From backrubs to gentle caresses to hand-holding to hugging, the more contact couples have with one another, the more satisfied they tend to be with their relationships.”

Embark on New Adventures Together

We’ve been helping people create and maintain happiness in their relationships for many years, and we’re certain that shared experiences create bonds.

So, try to explore new experiences as a couple.

Whether trying out a new hobby, visiting a place you’ve never been, or simply taking a spontaneous weekend trip…stepping out of your comfort zone adds excitement to your relationship.

It helps you get back in sync with the person you love.

Shared adventures create lasting memories and give you fresh topics to discuss. For example, you might join a weekend cooking class, or why not try salsa dancing?

You’ll learn new skills and have fun together.

Notice the Little Things

Let’s be real…we often take our partners for granted.

Make an effort to notice and appreciate the little things they do. Tell them how much you value them. A simple “thank you” or “I appreciate you” can go a long way in strengthening your connection.

A woman once sought our help because she felt her husband didn’t value her.

We suggested she start writing down one thing she appreciated about him each day, and share those things with him at the end of the week.

Not only did this shift her perspective, but it also inspired her husband to start noticing and appreciating her more. They realized what strengths and values each brings to the relationship.

A simple effort that had a big impact on their marriage.

Sync Up Your Daily Rhythms

Shared routines create more opportunities for connection throughout the day. So, try to align your daily schedules when possible. Eat meals together, synchronize work breaks, go to bed at the same time, etc.

If you have opposite work schedules, it’s not easy…we get it. It feels like ships are passing at night.

If that’s the case, perhaps you can identify a 30-minute window each day where your schedules overlap. Then, use this time to have a cup of coffee or tea together.

This can become a cherished daily ritual that will keep you in sync.

As we like to say, relationship routines are practical, but rituals are bonding!

Practice the Art of Being Present

Being fully present with each other is very important…make no mistake about it.

We recommend trying meditation or mindfulness exercises together. Even something as simple as focusing on each other’s eyes for a few minutes. Prolonged eye contact will allow you to tune out distractions and sync with each other.

In our experience, this is particularly effective for couples who have developed the common habit of going to bed and scrolling through social media or working on their phones.

But don’t just take our word for it. A study by the Journal of Research in Personality proved that:

Subjects who engaged in mutual gaze increased significantly their feelings of passionate love, dispositional love, and liking for their partner.

Reach Out for a Helping Hand

Sometimes, getting back in sync requires outside help. You may feel exhausted from trying to, need to deal with many differences or have trouble communicating openly.

Don’t hesitate to seek guidance. You can get it from a relationship counselor or one of our gifted psychics specializing in love and relationships.

Just pick whatever option you feel more comfortable with.

All the people we’ve helped appreciate the ease and convenience of receiving a psychic reading over the phone from the comfort of their homes.

We offer 10 minutes for $10 to new clients and a hassle-free refund.
