Take Action - Even When You Don’t Want To
By: Tomira L. Rosser
One of the most powerful ways you can show someone that you care about him or her is to do something for the other person, even when you don’t want to. In an intimate relationship, making these important gestures can help maintain the intimacy and send a clear signal that you care about your partner and that the relationship is important to you.
Chances are, for example, that your priorities are not exactly the same. One of you may prefer a very tidy house, while the other is more concerned about family time. One way to damage a relationship in a scenario like this is for one partner to complain about the laundry pile and the other to complain that the other partner obviously doesn’t care about the family. Comments like these only serve to undermine the other party, and can lead to a deterioration of the relationship.
On the other hand, if each person seeks to do things that he or she knows makes the other person happy, the relationship becomes a priority. This doesn’t mean that the house needs to be in pristine condition all the time or that “family night” has to occur every day of the week. However, making an effort to do more around the house and coming up with ideas for family time will show the other person that he or she is important. After all, we all need to feel that our needs and wants are important to our life partners. Creating a home environment that is supportive of these needs is vital to creating a lasting, loving relationship.
