It’s no secret that we all want to give our best for our partner. But the confusion is how? In today’s times, marriages are believed to be complicated. But, are they really complicated or do we make them? Don’t worry, these little tips can make you the perfect partner, one needs.
- The Small Talk :
Communication plays an important role in relationships. Make sure you don’t distance yourself from your partner. At the dinner table, ask them about their day, tell them about your day as well. Don’t show disinterest when they tell you something that happened, listen closely. If you are stressed about something, tell them. Also, it’s not important to talk about serious things; you may talk about politics, sports, movies or anything in general. Who knows? You might find something new about them
- Surprise Element :
You don’t need special events like birthdays or anniversaries to surprise your partner. Take them out, go watch a movie of your choice or theirs. Order a dish which they enjoy. After dinner, take a walk with them and enjoy an ice cream together. After all, a scoop of ice cream is a scoop of happiness. You don’t need to do big things or plan something grand, little things and gestures can make your partner happy. Monotone is boring, so always keep the surprise element alive.
- Understanding :
Often, we listen to something, react immediately and regret later. Instead, if you and your partner are not agreeing on the same thing and your opinions are clashing, react calmly to the situation. Take a breath, understand where they are coming from and reply accordingly. It’s not important to prove yourself right, so don’t attack them with your opinions. Be calm. Even your partner will understand where they are going wrong and you can come to the decision without fighting. Sometimes, even if you are right but are not polite while expressing it, you may hurt the other person. Being polite can help a lot.
- Give them space :
While marriage is about facing situations together and being there for each other, it is not necessary to be with your partner 24X7. Sometimes, personal time is much appreciated in today’s tiresome lifestyle. Encourage them to practice their hobbies which they used to do earlier. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness towards them.
- Sharing responsibilities
In marriage, where you are sharing your life together, it’s important that you share responsibilities too. Our societies have given us gender roles- a man is supposed to earn while the wife is to cook, it’s okay if you don’t follow these norms and help your partner. Sharing is caring and this partnership will run long if you share your responsibilities. It will also reduce the stress of one person.
These little things can definitely make your partner appreciate you more and even they will take equal efforts to make you happy.
