Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 8 December

Query:

I'm looking for relationship experts, therapists, and/or
counselors who can provide 12 specific, actionable tips to
enhance connection between spouses during this strange time.
Connection is tricky right now and many couples are feeling
distant even though they're under the same roof. But there are
small short exercises parents can do to connect, including
creating healthy boundaries, creating small, five-minute rituals
to connect, disconnecting from work, have silly rituals, etc.
I'm looking for 2-3 sources who can provide advice in this
regard, in the form of specific tips and explanations why
they're effective. This advice should feel useful but not
overwhelming, and be relatively straightforward. What are the
large and small ways couples can reconnect if they're feeling an
emotional distance or just the need to feel a bit closer? Let's
help them out! Of course, we'll be happy to link to anything
chosen sources would like to promote, and cite them as experts
