Feeling Distant? 7 Relationship Goals to Bring You Closer in 2025
As 2025 unfolds, many people focus on fitness, career advancement, and financial growth. But what about nurturing your relationships? Whether you’re in a long-term partnership, dating someone new, or focusing on self-love, setting meaningful relationship goals can transform your connections this year.
If you’ve struggled to maintain emotional or physical closeness, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Here are seven powerful relationship goals to reignite your bond in 2025 (and how Wildfire can help you get there).
1. Prioritise Quality Time (Even When You're Busy)
Modern life is hectic, and finding moments to connect can feel impossible. Prioritising quality time as one of your relationship goals can help foster meaningful connections. Yet meaningful relationships thrive on presence, not just proximity.
Goal: Schedule dedicated “connection time” each week. It might be a date night, a weekend breakfast ritual, or simply spending 30 minutes each evening winding down together.
Pro Tip: Set the mood by lighting a candle and massaging each other with Wildfire Original Pleasure Oil — a luxurious, all-natural blend designed to relax your body and mind, encouraging deeper closeness.
2. Define Your Intimacy Goals
Make your relationship goals personal and meaningful. Here are some ideas:
Single? Embrace self-love as an empowering practice. Set aside time for regular self-care rituals that celebrate you. Whether it’s indulging in a relaxing bath, pampering your skin with Wildfire Pleasure Oils, or filling your space with the exotic aroma of one of Wildfire’s Essential Oils, these moments can foster a deeper connection with yourself. Self-love isn’t selfish—it’s a crucial part of building your confidence and emotional wellbeing.
In a relationship? Connection can easily slip down the priority list when life gets busy. Commit to meaningful habits that reignite your bond. Plan weekly date nights that allow you to disconnect from devices and reconnect with each other. Try new experiences like a couples massage with a Wildfire massage oil, or create your own intimate ritual at home with candles, soft music, and a sensual touch.
For everyone: Emotional intimacy is the foundation of deeper connections. Practice open communication by creating a safe space for vulnerability. Whether you’re sharing thoughts with your partner or strengthening your relationship with yourself, honest conversations foster trust and understanding. Use practices like journaling, mindfulness, or guided meditation to reflect on your feelings and aspirations.
3. Create a Plan You Can Stick To
A solid plan makes it easier to turn your relationship goals into lasting habits. Here’s how:
Start Small Begin with one or two simple habits that feel achievable yet meaningful. For example:
- Lighting a candle and giving yourself or your partner a relaxing massage to create an atmosphere of calm, inviting closeness and comfort.
- Spending 10 minutes a day on mindful touch or cuddling. Even brief moments of physical connection can foster intimacy and reduce stress.
- Incorporate sensory elements like essential oils or calming scents to create a tranquil space that invites relaxation and connection.
Set Reminders Life gets busy, and intimacy can often fall to the bottom of your to-do list. Setting intentional reminders can help you stay committed to your relationship goals. Try:
- Scheduling weekly ‘connection time’ in your calendar.
- Using a journal to track your progress and reflect on moments of connection.
- Creating visual reminders, such as a candle or relaxing oil on your bedside table, to prompt moments of intimacy and care.
Celebrate Wins Recognising small victories will keep you motivated and reinforce positive habits. Consider:
- Writing down your milestones in a gratitude journal.
- Sharing a celebratory moment with your partner after a meaningful connection.
- Treating yourself to a self-care ritual to mark your progress and build momentum for bigger changes.
4. Embrace Open Communication (Even the Awkward Stuff)
Focusing on open communication as one of your relationship goals can create a stronger bond and reduce misunderstandings. Open communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about listening, expressing your needs, and feeling safe to be vulnerable.
For expert-backed strategies on improving communication in relationships, explore insights from The Gottman Institute.
Goal: Commit to weekly check-ins where you discuss how you’re feeling, what you appreciate about each other, and any concerns that may need attention.
Pro Tip: Use Wildfire Enhance Her Pleasure Oil to turn these conversations into an opportunity for deeper intimacy. A relaxing massage during your talk can ease tension and help you connect on a whole new level
5. Rediscover Physical Intimacy (Beyond the Bedroom)
Focusing on physical touch as one of your relationship goals can create powerful moments of connection. Physical touch doesn’t always need to be sexual to strengthen your bond. Simple gestures like holding hands, cuddling, or giving spontaneous back rubs can reignite closeness.
Goal: Make mindful touch part of your daily routine. Even two minutes of holding hands or a quick shoulder rub can create powerful moments of connection.
Pro Tip: Add Wildfire’s Black Pleasure Oil to your routine. Its rich blend of botanicals and essential oils creates a sensual, warming experience perfect for special date nights or everyday intimacy.
6. Build Emotional Intimacy (Without Pressure)
Emotional closeness is the foundation of any thriving relationship. But vulnerability takes courage, and it doesn’t always happen overnight.
Goal: Strengthen your bond by sharing experiences that foster emotional intimacy. Try reading a book together, writing love notes, or exploring new hobbies as a team.
Pro Tip: Use Wildfire’s Mood Mists to create an inviting space that feels calm and connected. The Feels Like Bliss mist offers calming lavender notes that encourage mindfulness, while Feels Like Love adds warmth and romance to your environment.
7. Celebrate Each Other (Every Step of the Way)
Acknowledging each other’s efforts, achievements, and emotions is a powerful way to build trust and show appreciation. Celebrating small wins strengthens your bond over time, making this a meaningful addition to your relationship goals.
Goal: Make it a habit to say, “I appreciate you” more often. Celebrate relationship milestones — even the minor ones — with thoughtful gestures or surprises.
Pro Tip: Surprise your partner with the All My Love Gift Pack from Wildfire. This luxurious set includes sensual oils, perfect for transforming your celebrations into unforgettable, intimate experiences. Or, if your partner enjoys creating a soothing atmosphere, the Mood Mist Gift Pack is an ideal choice to fill your space with warmth and romance.
