10 Steps To Enhance Your Relationship

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Desiree Sims, One of Thousands of Health and Fitness Coaches on Noomii.

1. Unconditional Love – Loving someone unconditionally is extremely hard to do, but it can be done. Loving them unconditionally means making no judgments and learning to love them no matter what their faults. You may not like or agree with everything they do, but continuing to love them is the best gift you can give them

2. Building and Earning Trust – Your partner must build trust with you and you must earn their trust in return. You must both be completely committed to the relationship and work hard to keep out outside interferences. Sometimes it’s extremely hard to do, but if you work together it is something that can be done.

3. Encouragement and Support – Show your partner that you encourage what they do, whether it is a career choice or returning to school. Support them in their decision and really back them up when they probably need it the most. Let them know you will be there for them for their successes, but for their failures if that should come too.

4. Touch your partner – Touch is extremely important for most people whether they realize it or not. It is nice to have that human contact even if it is as simple as touching a person’s arm when you talk to them. It can also be as romantic as touching their face when you kiss them or just look into their eyes. Never underestimate the power of the physical touch!

5. Give space – We all need time to ourselves and you have to understand that your partner needs it as well. Avoid being clingy and encourage your partner to do things with friends and others. It is important for both partners to have an outlet they can turn to and keeping close friends is a great way to do that.

6. Connect with each other – While you enjoy the time alone, time together is just as important. Schedule some time if you have to, but do it. Relax and enjoy the time together. Laugh and play all you can before “real life” rolls back in with its daily stressors.

7. Be there – Simply be there for your partner. If they’ve had a bad day, allow them to talk about it if they want to or allow them not to talk about it if they don’t want to at that moment. Just being there most of the time is enough for anyone. Your presence will be a great support for your partner. When they are ready to talk, they will.

8. Maintain Monogamy – You and your partner should both agree to keep the relationship monogamous. Not only will you lower the risk of infectious disease, you will learn about your partner, learn to trust your partner and will begin to have more fun with each other sexually. Once you develop a loving, lasting relationship and the trust is built, you will reach the comfort zone of being able to share with your partner so many things and they will do the same.

9. Reveal Your Fantasies – Let your partner know your fantasies. It doesn’t matter what they are. Everyone has a fantasy and if you really want you fantasy fulfilled, you have to share it. Who knows, it may be the same fantasy that your partner has in mind too. You and your partner can take turns sharing fantasies and you can try a different one monthly or whatever works for you all. If you are a little afraid at first to tell, ask your partner what one of their fantasies is and then I’ll bet they ask what yours are.

10. Never Take Your Partner for Granted -Let your partner know that you notice the things they do and that they are appreciated. No matter who you are, male or female, you like to know that those you love notice the little things you do and that they appreciate all you do. It can be something huge or something small, but either way, let your partner know that you do appreciate what they do for you.
