Readers,
One thing that everyone wants is a loving and compatible partner who can help you to grow into the person you want to become.
However, most people are too self absorbed to try and become a more loving and compatible partner for their own significant other.
This short post will focus on 3 simple things that every reader can do to become a better partner for their loved one.
Actually these three things can be done to improve relationships with any close family members or friends.
The first one is: Attention.
Every person has a need to feel important and valued. One of the most important and easy ways to achieve this is by giving someone your undivided attention. This means putting down your smartphones, switching off the tv and maintaining eye contact allowing your loved one to express what they desire to express. It is such a simple thing to do and yet gets neglected by so many.
The second one is affection.
Many people think that affection is limited to one action. However, the reality is that people love to be hugged, have their hand held, be smiled at etc etc which a lot of is done in a completely non sexual way.
Ask yourself how often you consciously make an effort to show affection to your partner and other people you love.
The third and final one for today is appreciation.
Every person needs to be appreciated for the good things that they do. Studies have shown that people are far more likely to continue to do good things if praised and rewarded compared to the likelihood of people changing after being criticised and punished. At the start of most relationships, both parties are eager to thank and praise each other. As the relationship gets older, both take each other for granted.
This list is not supposed to be an exhaustive list of advice to have a healthy relationship. Rather it is supposed to act as a springboard to carry on studying the subject to continuously improve in this area.
Best wishes.
I will hopefully be back with another post in the next 2-3 days.
