What if we could reignite a motive to draw us closer to our partners, reclaiming those enjoyable stolen minutes?
Editor’s Note: Sara Algoe is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is founder and director of The Love Consortium. Remember the last time you fell in love?

We enjoy the company of the person we love.
Couples reported spending significantly more time hanging out together, sleeping in the same bed or simply being in the same room together but doing their own thing, compared with couples in the control group. Some days it was much more than an hour, and some days much less. I suspect they slipped in the time when they could, eating breakfast together one day, coming home on time rather than working late at the office and sometimes spending an entire day together.
