5 things you can do right now to make your relationship better!
Have you started taking each other for granted? Whatever the answer, it's not bad to start doing the following things more often:
1. Show appreciation / gratitude
Ndonjëherë mund të thuash "të dua", dhe kjo gjithmonë vlerësohet. Por, të tregoheni pak më specifikë, ndonjëherë është edhe më me vlerë. Për shembull, nëse partneri juaj spontanisht pastroi një dhomë që ishte bërë rrëmujë, thoni që e keni vënë re dhe e vlerësoni këtë. Jo gjithmonë duhet të jepni një kompliment - thjesht tregoni se keni vënë re diçka specifike që partneri juaj ka bërë ose thënë dhe që do të thotë shumë për ju. Sigurisht, ai ndoshta s'ka bërë asgjë të jashtëzakonshme veç detyrës së tij, por është mirë të ndihemi të vlerësuar edhe për gjëra të vogla.
Some couples have a "gratitude session" every evening, where they express what they are grateful for in their lives and grateful for each other. Even if you do not do this every night, having a weekly schedule planned to express gratitude can not only help your relationship, but can relieve you of the stresses of everyday life.
2. Give empathetic answers
Everyone wants to feel that they are truly heard. When you repeat the essence of what you have heard, your partner feels that you are following him carefully and appreciates this. Before you answer, listen and take a moment to tell your partner what you heard.
3. Remember the warmth of a smile and touch
A greeting kiss when you return from work, a hug in bed at night and a kiss to say goodbye - all show that your partner is important to you. We all need touch to feel connected to each other and that strengthens our relationship.
4. Find time for a #date together
Regardless of work, children or other commitments, you need to find time for both of you, alone. Leave certain dates and moments to yourself: A romantic dinner at home, a short trip. Remember that before you are a mother, father, great businessman, you are also two passionate and loving partners.
Schedule a fun event at least once every two weeks
Find an activity that you both enjoy and participate in together. Each of you can write a list of what you like to do outside the home. Then compare your lists. There may be some activities that overlap or are similar.
Remember that having fun does not have to cost you money. With the right person, even a simple walk can be relaxing.
