What you should know
- Companionship is a big reason why people get married, especially men, and why they stay married.
- Not being happy with the level of intimacy is a big reason why couples get divorced after 10 years of marriage.
- It's normal to feel disappointed in relationships, and the hard part is figuring out what's bothering you and telling your partner in a way that makes it clear that it's your need, not their fault.
- You have to put in some work to keep a good relationship. Sometimes it takes work to make time to be together without any distractions.
- If partners don't try to fix things quickly and often, small problems will build up in the relationship, making it more likely that they will grow apart emotionally.
Make Changes Right Away
- Say thank you: When your partner does something you like, let them know how much you appreciate it. For no reason at all, tell them how happy you are to have them in your life.
- Recognize when your partner wants to connect. Responding positively to little things your partner says, like "Hey, look at that" or "How do I look?" is what keeps relationships together.
- Make room for fun and excitement. Sharing new and positive experiences keeps a relationship interesting and fresh.
