In relationships, each person has a need to feel valued and a priority by their partner. When each person doesn’t feel accepted in this way it will affect the connection between two people.
How important are your partner’s needs?
Do you know what your partner’s needs are?
Have you asked your partner what they need to feel valued?
The biggest need each person has is to be listened to, and have their feelings validated.
What does this look like?
Are you watching TV or scrolling through your phone when your partner is trying to talk to you?
Do you change the subject, retreat or not respect their opinion?
Do you continue doing what you’re doing on your computer rather than stop what you’re doing and give your partner your full attention?
Does your partner walk away feeling unheard or invalidated?
Do you offer advice and your opinion instead of listening and validating?
Has your partner agreed to go out with you then forgets about the date and instead goes out with mates?
Each person has a strong desire to connect with their partner and one way to strengthen that connection is for your partner to feel heard.
Don’t underestimate eye contact and positive body language.
