Relationships are about connection.
The two ongoing questions in a long-term committed relationship are
“Am I valued?”
“Do I matter?”
These questions are repeatedly answered through the way each person treats their partner and in their communication.
When someone is truly listened to, they feel valued.
If each person is sending their partner love messages during the day, checking in on them to see how they’re travelling, waiting to greet them after work, helping around the house, cuddling on the lounge, planning quality time together, speaking lovingly to each other,
each person will feel valued and they matter in their partner’s life.
When a person does not receive a loving response from their partner, they begin to feel insecure in their relationship.
They feel it is their fault and or their partner does not love them anymore.
This results in the injured partner shutting down and pulling away.
The offending partner may be going through stress at work but does not want to burden their partner with their work issues.
Communication stops assumptions between partners and it allows the other partner to support the partner with the mental stresses.
Allowing the other person to support you increases intimacy, friendship and trust.
