Is your perfect relationship suddenly becomes imperfect? These simple steps will reignite the flame between you and your partner. Make an effort every day of the week, focus on one at a time and do whatever you want with it but do them sincerely.
SUNDAY: Know what you want. Do you know your needs? Are you meeting your partner's needs? Are your needs being met? Even after you have the idea of your partner's need you found yourself frustrated because you just realized that it is not that you cannot meet his needs, it's you won't. Ask yourself why you have not done it yet. A relationship expert says that when your partner is no longer willing to give you what you need, you can try to force him into caring by means of intimidation, criticism, shame, withdrawal, anger, crying or anything that may work. The power struggle may go on and on for years but it may end because of the love you have for one another.
MONDAY: Respect is very important. One thing important in a relationship is to appreciate your partner's individuality. It should not matter why your partner needs what he or she needs. Never expect your partner to react like the way you do because your partner is not you! Know your partner more and be aware of why is he acting like the way he does. Listening to your partner may boost trust, reduce conflict and lead to a more satisfying relationship. It is very vital to lend an ear when your partner is upset which would probably require a lot of trust and practice.
TUESDAY: Be aware of the message that you send. Consider the message that you are sending your partner when you turn blind on what he or she wants. Think about how you or your partner feels about this. Men, according to some experts, are insecure of how they look and what women think about them. Although they have been trained never to show side that would appreciate simple gestures, know that it exists within them.
WEDNESDAY: Compromise. Compromise. Compromise. Try to find a middle ground and talk about both your needs and wants. Remember that you can fulfill your partner's wants, but when you prioritize your needs alone, you are making a conscious decision not to adhere to his or her wants.
THURSDAY: Keep the romance alive. Romance is a very important part of marriage. Your partner may consider romance as the true measure of his or her value to your relationship. Show your thoughtfulness and do something sweet for no reason at all. Doing dishes or taking the trash out is an act of love.
FRIDAY: The Four-Minute Rule. You can easily know how an evening with your partner will be based on the first four minutes of your time together, so make the best out of those minutes. Ask questions about how his or her day is fairing. Most especially, smile. It can make a whole lot of difference. Research shows that being nice to your partner can result to a happy marriage.
SATURDAY: Be Open. Be communicative and expressive with your partner. Bear in mind that sharing emotions and sentiments is never a weakness. It makes you whole. You really don't have to tell your partner everything that you think or feel, although when you do, you have to be accurate of the thing that you chose to disclose.
