So spontaneity is always great in any relationship, but there's room for planning ahead too. No, I'm not talking about the kind of plans you see architects holding.

What I am talking about is coming together every week or so with your partner to talk about what's on the horizon. It's an opportunity to hit the reset button your relationship, catch up on each other's lives, and see what's next.

So every once in awhile, slow down a bit, take out your planners or palm pilots and sync up your lives.
