Long term relationships needs
Long term relationships REQUIRE:
The safety and trust -
which often comes with spending a lot of time together, talking all day long, knowing each other very well,
certainty & commitment
And the Novelty, the unknown, the Mystery, the PASSION.
What a paradox. We need both opposites.
The safety and the trust comes easily when living together.
The novelty is something that you learn to cultivate.
How?
Keep asking your partner questions.
Keep being curious about their thoughts, their values, their ideas.
Remember, they are constantly changing just like everybody. They are not the same that they were a week ago: make a commitment to re-meet them again and again.
Don’t take things for granted.
Appreciate your partner 🌸 tell them not just that you love them, but WHY you love them.
