7 ways to make your partner feel loved
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up,” author Neil Gaiman wrote in his book The Kindly Ones. Isn’t it true for most of the couples you see nowadays?
Relationships are not easy. It is easy to fall in love but incredibly difficult to stay in love. After all, a generous amount of effort needs to be made by two individuals to maintain the foundation of a relationship. Loving is not enough, there has to be equal amount of affection, care, trust, respect, commitment, connection and communication from both sides.
If you feel your relationship has come to a standstill and you aren’t able to convey what you feel, here are seven ways to make your partner feel loved and nurture a newfound closeness that can bring you together again.
Plan a date
If it has been a long time that you and your loved one spent some quality time together, you must plan a date night where you can make him or her feel special with old memories. Get them their favourite dessert or just curl up in bed and watch their favourite movie. It will help boost your intimacy.
Words of appreciation
Over time, some things can go unnoticed in a relationship. If you feel that a certain distance has cropped up between you two, you should start appreciating your partner for little acts of kindness. You’ll be surprised to see how it instantly blooms a certain connection.
Encourage self-Care
At times, a person can get so invested in the relationship that they forget to take care of themselves. If that seems to be the problem, ask them to take some time out and enjoy an evening with their friends. If they are worried about the heap of responsibilities on their shoulders, help them take care of the mess or chaos.
Shower compliments
Complimenting your partner in front of your friends or family members may be the key to their happiness. Of course, you don’t need to go overboard with it. Just dropping in a word here and there can work its magic.
Keep promises
Maintaining the bridge of trust can get tough in a long-term relationship. If you feel you have somehow been faltering in that department, it may be time to make amends. Give your word and keep your promise. It will make them feel that they are valued.
Be open and understanding
If there are unresolved matters in your relationship, being open to each other and understanding the other’s standpoint can help see your relationship from a third perspective. This is quite an important aspect that will make your bond stronger.
Be all ears
Listening to each other is the most important facet of any relationship. You do not have to say anything or do something to help them, listening to their problems and understanding their point of view is the solution.
Find what they like, get to know them better, love them how they would like to be loved and you’re sorted for life!
