By- Shreya Sharma
Not always you need to do those grand filmy gestures to make your man feel your love. Sometimes small, simple gestures are enough to improve your relationship and make the bond strong. Your relationship is based on trust, communication, and love. And you need to strengthen it with all the sweet small gestures you can do. Here are 17 things you need to do together to improve your relationship.
- Say thank you for small things
It always feels good to be appreciated by the one you love. And when you acknowledge and appreciate the efforts made by the other person in the relationship, it opens you both to do the work needed to keep the relationship happy and healthy. The more you will appreciate the positive efforts of your partner, the more you will see the positive side of him instead of the negative one.
- Tell your partner about your day
Tell him about what you ate for lunch or how wacky your boss is, or snapchat him random things you noticed throughout the day. Keep your partner updated about the small things you noticed and experienced and it will make you feel related. This is more important in a long-distance relationship.
- Show positive interest in the things he is interested
Responding positively to your partner’s issue of interest can lead you to a happy healthy relationship. When your partner shows interest in something, respond positively and show your interest and appreciation in that thing. If you ignore his interest, it can lead to problems in your relationship.
- A foot or back massage
Do not do this physical touch just to have sex. Making massage a pattern to indulge in sex will make you associate warm touch with pressure and anxiety instead of kindness and affection. Find ways to squeeze, rub, hug, cuddle or hold your partner throughout the day in a non-sexual way. Kiss his cheeks randomly, rub his shoulder or place your hand on his knees while sitting.
- Go on a double date
Go on a double date as it will give you an opportunity to chat about personal topics with others and this will make you feel more in love with each other. Make sure your double date involves a lot of warm and personal conversation.
- Schedule your couple time
When you are in a relationship since a long time, it is easy for you to get busy with other things and start living a totally parallel life. If you do not want this, then be adamant to make time for each other every day, even if it is just fifteen minutes a day. Make a pact to chat with one another without the electronic device for ten minutes before bed every day. It is sure to bring you on the same page.
- Snuggle up at night
Find a way to make physical contact with your partner while sleeping. Being in a happy relationship makes you feel like snuggling more. Warm affectionate touches can higher the level of oxytocin in your blood.
- Split the house work
Promise to do the chore that the other one hates. If your man hates doing the laundry, then you can do it and he can do something that you hate. Remember to say thank you, and it will bring you close.
- Go to bed angry
When you are too stressed, emotional or tired, your rational brain stops working and you cannot accomplish anything productive. Going to bed angry does not mean extending the fight and giving your partner a cold shoulder, but sometimes it is necessary to step back and take a long pause. Talk about the issue the next morning with a fresh mind.
- Workout together
Whatever you both like, do it together. Go for the run, hit the gym, play tennis, go to yoga class or whatever but do it together as it will bring you closer.
- Give your partner the benefit of doubt
If he is late, it does not mean he does not care about your feelings or time. Take a deep breath and try to think about all the possible reasons for this. Everyone sees the world in a different way and no one’s perception is completely right or wrong. Give your partner a benefit of doubt. Try to think about your partner’s perspective and understand where they are coming from. If he is being abusive and lets you down, you should not feel compelled to give him the benefit of doubt.
- Be excited about your partner’s good news and accomplishments
It is important to be there for your partner when he goes through something hard, but it is even important to celebrate with them their accomplishments. When you respond happily and enthusiastically to your partner’s good news, it ensures you commitment, satisfaction, and love. It will make your partner feel understood, valued and cared for.
- Get a good night sleep
When you do not get enough sleep, you experience more negative emotions and react more strongly to bad things. This can even make you feel annoyed with your partner and fight with them. If you face any unpleasant situation, the partner who suffers from sleep loss might react more strongly in the situation.
- Do not be too active on social media
People who can their social media accounts frequently have a shorter relationship on average than those who are not so active.
- Plan a night out with friends
Having own interests, friends and hobbies apart from your partner make you retain a self of sense. Maintain your own identity so that you do not become too dependent on your partner. This way you will talk more about your partner, you will be excited to come home and your partner too will get time to cultivate his hobbies and friendship.
- Do something weird together
Couples who participate in novel and arousing activities feel happy together than the couples who do mundane things together. Check out the deals about weird activities and go explore them.
- Kiss more
Smooching your partner a lot is tied to higher relationship satisfaction. Having a partner who was a “good” kisser and kissing frequently gives you higher relationship satisfaction and makes your relationship healthy.
