EmailAre you taking your relationship for
granted?
A lot of relationships start off great.
After a while, the partnership begins to go downhill because we forget the
small things that matters.
Neither men nor women like to be taken
advantage of. It is very important to constantly show appreciation toward your
partner. Praise and acknowledgment toward your mate is a way to sustain a
healthy relationship. Praise and acknowledgment comes in the form of:
· Giving
complements
· Showing
love
· Providing
support
· Showing
passion to the relationship in general
TIP: Do not take your partner for
granted
Common ideas that are taken for granted
are:
· He
or She will always be there for me
· We
will have sex another time
· I
do not need to say, “I love you”.
· He
or she should do specific things
Ask your partner “Do I take you for
granted in any way?” Be conscious toward displaying genuine appreciation,
respect and gratitude. People get complacent and slowly start taking things for
granted because it’s requires minimum effort. Do not get busy or lazy to the
point where you start to neglect your love life. If necessary, think back to
the time you just met your partner. That was a moment when you were very
conscious with your image and reputation.
TIP: Make quality time
Relationships need quality time for the
bond to grow. Without that quality time, the relationship will gradually
distance itself.
TIP: Give him or her space
Often times your partner needs space to
himself or herself. Here are some moments when personal time and space are
often necessary:
· After
a hard day at work
· When
the mind need to unwind
· After
any stressful event
· During
a moment of creative thinking
Often times, a relationship becomes subjective to deterioration if you don’t allow your partner to have their private moment to recompose. The brain is a muscle, and like all muscles, it needs rest.
