幸福的情侶會在週末做這些事情

Monday through Friday can feel frantic and jampacked with work deadlines, appointments and other obligations that leave little time for couples to recharge their batteries.
從週一到週五，工作截止日、預約和其它義務會讓你感到瘋狂和緊張，使得情侶'充電'的時間所剩無幾。

That's why weekends are a much-needed time for couples to slow down, connect and just enjoy each other's company, while also taking care of their individual needs and preparing for the week ahead. We asked relationship experts how the happiest couples spend their weekends. Here's what they told us.
所以情侶們需要在週末放慢腳步、彼此談心、享受彼此的陪伴，同時照顧個人需求，爲接下來的一週做好準備。我們請教了一些戀情專家，請教他們幸福的情侶會如何度過週末。他們是這麼說的：

1. They strike a balance between "me" time and "we" time.
1. 他們在'自我'時間和'我們'時間取得平衡。

"With all the busyness of daily life, many of us can end up feeling more like roommates than sweethearts. Weekends are prime time to reconnect as a couple. Maybe your thing is to cook dinner together or curl up in front of the TV or head out to a movie. But what about the Saturday morning Spin class you like? Or the mystery novel you're dying to finish? What about breakfast out with the best friend you haven't seen in a month? The happiest couples are able to feel connected without needing to being joined at the hip. They know the importance of both 'me' time and 'we' time and make sure to support plenty of both."
"日常生活忙忙碌碌，很多情侶最後會覺得雙方關係更像室友而非心上人。週末是重新做回情侶的最佳時機。或者你們可以一起做晚飯，或者一起躺着看電視，或者出去看電影。但週六早晨的動感單車課怎麼辦呢？看不看你渴望讀完的推理小說呢？和好朋友一個月沒見了，說好一起吃早餐的呢？最幸福的情侶就算不是時時刻刻都黏在一起，也能感覺心意相通。他們知道'自我'時間和'我們'時間一樣重要，並儘可能滿足這兩個時間。"

2. They plan something fun to look forward to.
2. 他們會計劃一些值得期待的有趣的事情。

"Many couples are so overwhelmed by their week that the weekend rolls around and they don't have any fun plans. The workweek can be way less of a slog if couples do a bit of advanced planning and have something fun to look forward to. It doesn't have to be an elaborate weekend getaway, even just booking a cooking class or dinner date can make all the difference. The happiest couples also realize that not everyone is a planner. If one person is better at planning, let them do that and the other person can offer something else that is their strong suit!" ―Danielle Harel, sex expert and co-author of Making Love Real: The Intelligent Couple's Guide to Lasting Intimacy and Passion
"工作日讓很多情侶筋疲力盡，以至於週末到來時他們完全沒有有意思的計劃。如果情侶制定一些遠景計劃、有值得期待的事情，那工作日也就不是件難事了。不一定是精心設計的週末假期，即使只是預訂一個烹飪課或晚餐約會也會讓一切變得不一樣。最幸福的情侶也會意識到不是每個人都是策劃人。如果一個人擅長策劃，那讓他/她來就好了，另一半可以提供他們擅長的事情！"--性專家和Making Love Real: The Intelligent Couple's Guide to Lasting Intimacy and Passion一書的合著作者丹尼爾·哈雷爾
