How Considerate Are You In Your Relationship?

Relationships are never about one person and both people have needs.

It takes consideration to meet the needs of the other person.

How often have you heard someone say well that’s just the way I am!! I’m not going to change for you!!

A relationship with this mentality will have an expiry date!!

So what does it look like to be considerate of the other person and how do we go about doing it?

To begin with, you could share your partners activities with them even if you don’t enjoy them. Buy the foods you know they like and cook them the dishes you know they enjoy even if they don’t appeal to you.

When speaking to your partner, consider the tone and words you’re using.

When they share something with you on an emotional level, be fully present. Validate their feelings.

If your partner has an idea for a dream or goals, don’t shoot them down because you believe their goals sound impossible.

Always be supportive in front of others.

You may not agree with your partner but you can disagree behind closed doors.

Unexpectedly make your partner a hot drink if you know that’s what they enjoy.

Suggest something romantic to do after work or on the weekend. Get out of the same old routine.
