STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE
Your actions may be screaming louder than you realise and harming your relationship.
The word communication may be easy to look up in a dictionary, but it is hard to come by in a relationship. Paradoxically, communication can also be a magical antidote to all your relationship issues.
It’s not always about complimenting your partner or singing his praises. “Even if couples disagree with what’s being said or debate and argue, it’s still better than ignoring what a partner is saying. It’s a fundamental need of people that their loved
ones should hear them out. Effective communication shows that partners value each other,”
YOU NAG TOO MUCH
YOU INTERRUPT YOUR PARTNER TOO OFTEN
INTERRUPTING SOMEONE, OR BEING INTERRUPTED, CAN LEAD TO A LOT OF RESENTMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP.
YOU DON’T SPEAK UP
LANGUAGE OF LOVE
EYE TO EYE:
ALL SMILES
HAND HOLDING
YOU’RE TOO HARSH ON HIM / HER
SEPARATE THE ISSUE OR THE BEHAVIOUR FROM THE PERSON. BE SOFT ON THE PERSON AND TOUGH ON THE ISSUE.
YOU NEVER SAY THANKS
FIGHT THE FIGHT NOT NECASARRY
BE HONEST:
DON’T AVOID YOUR PARTNER:
GET SOME SLEEP
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RIGHT:
EXPLAIN WHY YOU’RE SORRY
YOU ROLL YOUR EYES TOO MUCH
“INSTEAD OF SMIRKING
ROLLING YOUR EYES, IT’S BETTER TO TELL YOUR PARTNER WHAT’S AFFECTING YOU.”
YOU TURN YOUR BACK WHILE SLEEPING
The worst possible thing you could be doing for your relationship is coming home after work and snoozing the second your head hits the pillow. Before you know it, you aren’t just dealing with. Indulge in some pillow talk before bed
