2. Nurturing intimacy: Intimacy is an essential part of any romantic relationship. It involves sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with your partner. It also involves being physically and emotionally close to your partner.
3. Resolving conflict constructively: Conflict is a normal part of any relationship. However, it's important to learn how to resolve conflict constructively. This means avoiding destructive behaviors such as blaming, criticizing, or stonewalling. Instead, focus on communicating your needs and feelings in a respectful way.
4. Making time for each other: In today's busy world, it's easy to let our relationships fall by the wayside. However, it's important to make time for each other on a regular basis. This means scheduling regular date nights, taking vacations together, or simply spending quality time together at home.
5. Expressing appreciation: It's important to express appreciation for your partner on a regular basis. This can be done through words, actions, or gifts. When you express appreciation, you show your partner that you value them and that you're grateful for their presence in your life.
6. Being supportive: A supportive partner is there for you through thick and thin. They listen to you, offer advice, and help you to achieve your goals. Being supportive means being understanding, compassionate, and encouraging.
7. Maintaining a positive attitude: A positive attitude can go a long way in a relationship. When you focus on the positive aspects of your relationship, you're more likely to be happy and satisfied. Focus on the good times, and appreciate the things that you love about your partner.
Mates, Spouses, and Intimate Partners is an essential resource for anyone who wants to build and maintain a healthy, fulfilling romantic relationship. Dr. Gottman's research-based insights provide a roadmap for creating a relationship that will last a lifetime.
