In relationships that end, one thing is always lacking:
Appreciation.
WHY APPRECIATION MATTERS:
Most people grew up in homes where their talents, traits, and unique quirks went unseen or unnoticed. This leaves people with an even deeper desire to be seen and appreciated by their partner.
In partnership, people have subconscious beliefs around what a partner should do. Ex: "provide."
But what every person is looking for is: someone genuinely who appreciates who they are.
Appreciation can look like:
- acknowledging specific traits ("I love how intelligent or curious you are")
- noticing their excitement about something, and asking them about it
- taking the time to write a handwritten note or card
- complimenting them in front of close friends or family
- planning something they've been wanting to do
- sending a thoughtful text or email
- doing something for them so they don't have to
Most people aren't actually looking for grand displays of affection or attention.
They want to be seen.
The more you see your partner, the more secure the relationship becomes.
When we stop appreciating our partner, disconnection starts to grow. And if that disconnection continues, resentment builds.
The positive part is: you can start practicing appreciation at any time.
DOES YOUR PARTNER SHOW APPRECIATION?
