Relationship will sustain with a better emotional connection. A fallen relationship starts with a break in emotional connection. There is a need to improve your relationship emotional connection as long as you want it to sustain. Here are hints to improve your emotional connection;
Communicate often and honestly. Open and honest communication is a
cornerstone to a happy and romantic relationship. Telling your partner exactly
how you feel, including your likes and dislikes, will increase clarity between
you two, and help maintain overall happiness. Spend at least five minutes per
day checking in with each other about the status of your relationship. Talk
about how certain situations made you feel or how you would like to see some
things happen differently.
- When you communicate with your partner, try to frame things positively. For example, if you did not like that your partner said you would attend their work event without asking, instead of saying “Don’t make my decisions for me," say something like, “I love to support you in your job, however I would really appreciate it if we could discuss going to social events before you RSVP.”
Leave love notes around the house
for your partner to find. Create
small acts of kindness that let your partner know you are thinking about them
when you are apart. Your partner will appreciate the effort and will feel your
love in your absence.
- Other acts of kindness could include sending love texts while at work, writing “you are beautiful” on the mirror, packing their lunch the night before, or cleaning the house.
Be appreciative of your partner. Appreciation adds value to your partner and to your
relationship. Express the physical, personal, and professional attributes that
you value in your partner to make them feel loved and respected. Focus on the
positive qualities, such as their hair, humor, or selflessness.
Accept your partner for their
mistakes and flaws. Your partner is not perfect and you
knew that going into the relationship. Accept that they might not put away
dishes, or that they run chronically late. Do not try to change your partner;
instead, focus on promoting the good things about them such as their intelligence
or ability to light up a room!
- Become aware of your own flaws and recognize you are not perfect to help you accept your partner’s flaws.
- Be respectful of your partner and their flaws. If they are chronically late, respect that it is their decision to be late, but allow yourself to be on time.
