Mornings are miserable for everyone—except for those rare freaks of nature who enjoy them, but nobody understands them. If you’re in a relationship, then you have one of the greatest resources right at your pillow tips to help mornings be a little bit better—your partner! Unfortunately most couples just drag their bodies around the house in the morning, half asleep, grunting and bumping into each other while trying to get ready. Hey, sometimes talking to somebody first thing in the morning is the last thing you want to do. But, if you toss some mouthwash in your mouth and rub your eyes, you can actually really benefit from interacting more with your partner in the morning. Here are 15 morning routines every couple could benefit from.

Look at each other
Rub those boogers out of your eyes and look at each other while you snuggle. Making eye contact with the person you love also sends feel-good hormones through your body. Who doesn’t need those in the morning?

Eat breakfast together
There’s a reason your parents insisted your family eat together when you were a kid—having a meal together is a bonding experience. You end up talking and sharing things you wouldn’t otherwise if you ate separately.

Shower together
You both need to do it, so why not do it together? You’ll save water, and you’ll set yourself up for a little shower sex—or at least some playful body washing.

Watch a funny video
Laughing with somebody helps you feel connected. Laughing first thing in the morning also gets your brain working and perks you up. So take one minute and watch a funny YouTue video together before leaving for work.

Put a little money in the vacation fund
Get out an old fashioned piggy bank and, every morning put a little something in it. It can literally be fifty cents each. But that moment of putting that money in the jar labeled, “Bahamas” will give you both more purpose throughout your day.

Send each other a surprising text
The second you part ways in the morning, send each other one surprising text. It can be a joke, a sweet thought, a nipple picture—whatever!
