It is not good to take the other person for granted when in a relationship. Take time to share a few thoughtful words and sentiments. You don’t have to wait until the person is no more before showing the love that you ought to have given them. Words are powerful, when said right- they go a long way to strengthen your bond and keep the relationship strong.
Below are 5 things to tell your partner regularly:
1. “I trust you”
Trust plays a major role in every relationship. Let your partner know that you see him/her as someone of integrity. By doing so, you encourage them to work hard in maintaining that trust.
2. “I miss you”
Whether you are in a long distance relationship or have seen each other for few days or have less time to discuss, saying you miss your partner speaks volumes. It let’s your partner know that you value them.
3. “I respect you”
Let your partner know that you value them as a person not just for their looks, charm or job . Tell them how much you respect them for their intellect and character when they make that hard decision, achieve a goal or comment intelligently.
4. “I’m so grateful to have you in my life”
Let them know how much gratitude you feel towards them. What do they bring to your life? Care, affection, friendship, advice, good times….be thankful for your partner always
5. “I appreciate you”
Telling your partner that you appreciate them validates their efforts and encourages them to keep investing in your relationship.
