Consistency is key in relationships and often, feeling valued is our biggest need in intimate relationships. It is extremely easy to forget to prioritize the small gestures and pass over the present moment because we worry about what is going to come next - the future. It is the simple things - these simple acts of love and kindness that truly are the best way to weather any future stress or tension in the relationship.
1) Being Silly And Spontaneous
2) Asking Your Partner If He/She Needs Anything - This shows that you are thinking of your partner and want to take care of him/her.
3) Listening To Your Partner - Spend one-on-one time with your partner and genuinely ask them how their day was and anything else the conversation wanders off to
4) Disagreeing Without Being Mean - Get your point across but without being mean and insulting your partner. When you are in the midst of an argument or a disagreement, keep in mind that this is the person you love and ask yourself if you would let anyone else talk to them in the way you’re about to... otherwise, rethink your words or actions.
5) Helping With Chores - Offer to lighten your partner's load with the chore he/she dreads doing. This lets your partner feel less stressed and treat you as an ally.
6) Prioritizing Connection - A simple act that creates connection consistently will definitely go a long way in love.
7) Making Work More Pleasant For Your Partner - This could be a little something to make your partner smile, for example:- a simple handwritten note, making lunch for your partner.
8) Being Nice To Your Partner's Parents - Keep in touch with your partner's parents, make the effort to spend some time with them and visit them.
