Due to the responsibilities of work, children, cleaning the home, and the “inevitable” use of the telephone, the members of a marriage can barely talk, even if they are together all day. Couples experts suggest a valuable solution: the coffee trick.

Far from being a complex technique, this habit consists of setting aside a few minutes each day to share a drink and chat without interruptions. The objective is not to resolve conflicts or plan the week, but to recover a space of connection that many relationships lose over the years.

It's not about going out to a coffee shop (which is also valid), getting dressed, making food or planning too much. No, it consists exactly of the essence: sharing a cup of coffee, fixing attention and exchanging hearts.

How to apply the coffee trick in a marriage?

The method proposes that both members of the couple spend between five and ten minutes a day sitting together with a cup of coffee, tea or any other drink. What is really important is not the drink, but the conversation.

Coffee is really the reason, the excuse, and if it is sweet and delicious, the better.

During this time, phones should be put away and, if possible, other distractions such as television or housework should also be avoided. The intention is for both of you to be able to talk about how your day was, how you're feeling, or what's worrying you, without interruptions.

Specialists highlight that this routine creates a moment of closeness that helps keep the dialogue alive even in periods of greatest stress.

Why can it strengthen a marriage?

Therapists explain that many crises do not appear overnight. In many cases, the deterioration of the relationship begins when daily conversations disappear and each member of the couple begins to live their routine independently.

The “coffee trick” seeks to prevent this emotional distancing by turning communication into a daily habit. By sharing a quiet moment, both have the opportunity to express emotions, listen to each other, and show interest in what is happening in their lives.

This type of conversation also encourages active listening, that is, paying attention without interrupting or immediately thinking of a solution. Sometimes, the couple doesn't need advice, but rather to feel understood.

To apply it without inconvenience or distractions, therapists advise choosing a schedule that is easy to maintain, either in the morning before starting the day or at the end of the day. The important thing is not to postpone or interrupt it.
