Whether your relationship is on the rocks, or if it’s going well and you simply want to keep pushing it in the right direction, there are many things you can do to make sure your partnership is constantly improving. The steps you take don’t necessarily have to be major. They just have to make sure the person you care for knows you care for them. Here are a few simple ones you might want to try out!
Listen
As we get used to someone’s company, we often pay less attention to what they’re saying. This can be for various reasons. We may feel we already know them and their interests, so no longer have to listen as intently to get to know them. But this is a common mistake. People are always growing and changing. Their interests and passions will evolve and can alter. They may face different challenges in their life that they need support to overcome or accept. Listening is always going to be an extremely important factor for any relationship, so avoid brushing off your loved one’s conversation. You want to make sure they always see you as a source of support and a shoulder to cry on or celebrate with.
Improve Your Intimacy
Not everyone is particularly intimate or touchy feely and that’s okay. It’s important that you and your partner always respect each others boundaries and never overstep the line. But if intimacy is important in your relationship and you want to improve it, there are various things you can do to achieve this. This can range from going to traditional couples counseling to taking classes you can do together, like yoga for intimacy. It’s worth trying out and seeing what works for you both!
Schedule Time Together
When people first enter a relationship, they’ll often make a lot of time for the person they’re with. But as time goes on and your lives start to mesh together, perhaps you even live together, people often feel that simply being around the person they love in the house is enough. It’s important that you still make time to do things together, no matter how busy or hectic your schedules may be. This could be something as simple as making sure you have a date night once a week or even once a month, in some circumstances (i.e. long distance relationships). Perhaps you could catch a film you both want to see, go to a favorite restaurant, or check out an art exhibit. If you want to go all out with shared quality time, you could even book a holiday. This will give you a complete break from the pressures and responsibilities of everyday life and let you enjoy each others’ company fully.
