Research has shown that taking more loving actions can make couples feel more in love.
Many relationship issues center around misunderstandings or miscommunications about what makes each person feel loved.
Being curious and open to a partner’s unique way of feeling loved can make people better, more attuned partners.
After having children, it's important to invest time and energy in your romantic partner. All kinds of factors determine what each of us experiences as love. Yet being curious and open to our partner’s unique way of feeling loved can make us better, more attuned partners. So, how can we “get better” at knowing what our partner wants and needs?
Listen to what they’re saying.
Pay attention to how they express their feelings.
Check in with your partner (and yourself).
Notice how they express love.
Accept your partner’s needs as different from your own.
Couples who continually examine and define what love means to each have the best chance of keeping that feeling alive, both in their partner and themselves.
