We've been binge-watching romcoms and dreaming of whirlwind romances in honor of Valentine's Week. If you're looking for guidance on how to make a harmonious alliance with your crush or partner and keep the spark of romance alive, we've got you covered with 5 expert pieces of relationship advice.
Valentine's Week began on Monday with Rose Day, and in the lead up to Valentine's Day on February 14, we asked a life coach and a counselor for their top five pieces of relationship advice that can help you keep the romance alive in your relationship and achieve your couple goals.
"Two of the biggest difficulties people face in relationships are: One, we expect the partner to fulfill certain anticipations or fill in specific shoes, which the partner inevitably ends up feeling the stress of overtime," Jyotsna Ahuja, Founder of The White Space, said in an interview with HT Lifestyle. Second, we overlook the fact that the partner both holds and reflects the fragmented parts of ourselves."
"Your partner is nothing but a mirror to you," she advised. The things you like and dislike about one another are feelings about yourself deep down. Assimilating as well as integrating these effects leads to a great deal of wholesomeness, intimacy, and healing in genuine, loving relationships."
Life Coach Sheetal Shaparia listed the 5 most important things to remember to keep your relationship alive, pointing out that there is a lot of relationship advice given based on the foundation of your relationship.
These are some of them:
1. Reciprocate in all aspects of the relationship. It's critical that you both put forth equal effort to maintain the relationship because one-sided relationships never last.
2. Try to communicate as much as possible. If you ever feel your partner is doing something you don't like, talk it out rather than letting it fester. Even if you've fought, talk about what's bothering you both and come up with a solution.
3. Improve comprehension. Instead of judging your partner when they try to express themselves and share their problems, you must understand their point of view. A couple that does not understand each other will never have a successful relationship.
4. Be grateful for every little thing your partner does for you. It could be as simple as preparing a cup of coffee for you. Count every little thing your partner does for you and show them how much you appreciate everything they do for you.
5. Give them the impression that you're still trying to win them over. Date nights, healthy flirting, and small surprises are some of the ways to keep the romance alive in your relationship.
