Quality Time
As I continue to build my relationship with my dear old horse Saifur (a 29-year old Icelandic horse I adopted 3 years ago), it's nice to see him stay with me even though I've brought him back into the herd after our time together. This wasn't always the case, as I usually spent time with my other two horses first and then Saifur, which somehow never felt good to me. However, since I've changed my routine and often spend time with him first instead of the other horses, Saifur seems to notice and shows it by wanting to be with me even more. I love this little guy with the big heart ❤️
It's no different with people. Even if you don't change what you do together, but change the quality of that time together, they will pick up on this subtle change and it will positively affect your relationship.
