Relationships with our loved ones influence many elements of our lives. People from all cultures value relationships with family, friends, and neighbours. To live a complete and happy life, these relationships must be preserved and developed.
For example, our relationship with our partner can be more important than any other in terms of long-term happiness and calm. Consider a difficult time with your relationship. You're probably tired, worn out, sad, and hurt right now. Most of us have felt this way. Perhaps we saw our loved one as a hostile foreign opponent who didn't care about our sentiments. We get queasy, distracted, emotional, and lose focus when we have such tremendous internal conflicts.
That's why it's so important to take time for ourselves and think about how we might improve our relationships with our spouses. In reality, it takes less effort than trying to maintain a toxic relationship.
Now we'll talk about how to approach your partner with more awareness and develop a loving and joyful relationship.
Before we begin, let's review what thankfulness comprises. Being grateful means expressing gratitude and valuing the other. So, how can we show our partner we care and treat him better?
Brené Brown's book Challenging the Brutal World explains how to build and maintain a relationship based on mutual respect and shared accountability. "Openness is compassion," says Browne. “Not to be” he says. To be compassionate to others, the text says, we must be open to them. We should not convey our hopes, dreams, or desires to the person in front of us.
Let's see how this applies to our love lives. Consider a person who attracts you. You have no notion what the other person's future plans are or what they think of you. You have no idea about your past relationships, what you consider a good connection, or what qualities you seek in a prospective companion. People may want to live on a yacht or in a tiny mountain cottage; they may want ten children or none. Despite all the unknowns, we generally avoid asking these questions and gaining answers. We're afraid of making a bad choice. Or, we don't want to startle the person in front of us.
You still don't know what your lover wants from you or from life. Desperately trying to understand your partner's behaviours and words. So you're tense, agitated, and fatigued. You keep praying for good luck. What is this if not a waste of time and energy? Imagine marrying someone who has no notion what you want in life.
That's why not speaking up is cruel: it's agonising and brutal for both of you. You can't read each other's minds and know their objectives, dreams, and expectations unless you talk clearly. So talking about it with your partner is a good deed. As a result, you may want to share more information with your partner than is required; you may want to discuss every aspect of your life with him. Details include family chores, financial decisions, future professional goals, and desired residence.
Of course, speaking openly does not guarantee getting all you want; you and your spouse will have to compromise to find a solution that works for both of you. If you are honest with your partner, you can better understand what type of life you want to lead together.
