While you’re spending so much time planning your wedding, it’s easy to forget the reason for the obsession — your passionate love for each other. But trust us when we say, nourishing your relationship is far more important than coordinating the napkins to the table linens or figuring out who will sit with who at your table. After all, a wedding is about merging your independent lives into a thriving marriage. So make an effort to stay connected as a couple, cherishing each other away from the never-ending wedding planning.

However, it’s one thing to say, and another thing to do, especially when there are so many wedding details begging for your attention. But just how do you make sure your relationship with your partner doesn’t fall by the wayside? The answer is simple: quality time.

Schedule time to be together, without the perfectly categorized, color-coordinated planning binder and away from the box of inspiration boards and fabric swatches. Leave them both in the closet, forgotten, if only for a day.

Our suggestion is to set aside Sundays, which are naturally regarded as days of rest, reflection and reunion. Use the day to focus on your relationship and on building a life together. If only one day, one afternoon, or one sweet moment at a time.
