Relationships can be complicated. Don’t we all know it!!! I think it’s time someone published a One -Size-Fits-all book to a Successful Relationship. We can only wish. That may not be possible, anytime soon, but I believe we can all agree that some tips may fit most of us while we constantly find ourselves on the path of the pursuit of happiness.
Here are 4 great tips that can help with the little details of how and when to connect with a partner truly.
Frequently Switch to the Appreciation Mode.
Positive Psychology according to Wikipedia, is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living focusing on individual and societal wellbeing. Frequently switching to appreciation mode with our partners put them in a gratitude mode. Gratitude has been attributed to happiness which adds meaning to life leading further to a sense of healthy wellness, especially when considering mental health. This Harvard Health Publishing website, states as much as gratitude helps in building strong relationships. Saying thank you in words and occasional gift-giving can help strengthen the connection with a partner.
Spend Time Together.
Doing something nice together helps contribute to helping in strengthening relationships. A lot of problems can be solved when partners communicate effectively. Effective communication is achieved by spending quality time together. Talking about each other’s day, sharing ideas, and helping solve life’s problems together can develop shared interests and help partners create closeness thereby forming a friendship.
Take Pleasure in Some Personal Time.
Although spending time together is important, it is also necessary to spend some individual time alone. Finding time for oneself in a relationship helps one feel recharged. Feeling up to date on happiness by basking in the joys of hobbies and other friendships that help make a person feel renewed. Let’s imagine bringing our renewed selves into healthy relationships. It encourages enthusiasm and self-satisfaction which helps give a boost to relationships.
When In Bed, Take a Cue From Your Partner.
I once had a boyfriend with whom I spent some nights. We weren’t living together. One day, he made a statement to me about how we slept when we were in bed. When I sleep, I lay on my side, usually. So when I get in bed after a tiring day, ready to drift off, I lay on my side. However, that could send the wrong message to a partner as my then-boyfriend assumed that I didn’t want to connect with him. Which was why I always turned my back to him in bed. Honestly, I didn’t know how to handle the feedback back then but I always noted it. If you truly want to connect with a partner, especially after a tiring day, try connecting by making a conversation and establishing that it is time to glide into the dream state. If your partner is the type to cuddle before bed, then there should be an understanding of how to proceed with cuddles before drifting off.
