Struggling with relationships? The experts have a bit of advice for you. Four simple truths, honestly held, can change everything about the way you love and are loved in return.
“Although other differences can be accommodated and tolerated, a difference in values is particularly problematic if the goal is long-lasting love.”
Shared values are the quiet foundation beneath everything else. Chemistry fades and circumstances change, but two people who want the same things from life tend to find their way back to each other.
“Love is a social exchange, not just a feeling. Loving relationships are where we get our needs met and meet the needs of our partners too.” — Jeremy Nicholson
Lasting love is a practice, not a mood. The couples who go the distance are the ones who keep showing up for each other's needs, long after the first flush of romance has settled.
“Everyone potentially has a breaking point, and if their needs are not met or they don't feel seen by the other, they will more than likely find it somewhere else.”
Appreciation is a daily discipline. The small acknowledgements, the thank-you, the noticing, are what keep a partner feeling chosen rather than merely kept.
“No one can be ‘everything' to anyone. Create relationships outside The Relationship, or The Relationship isn't going to work anymore.” — Matt Lundquist, Therapist
A rich life outside your relationship, friendships, family, pursuits of your own, doesn't compete with your love. It feeds it.
