Couple talk



As a couple, you create your own rituals together.
.
They become something that can shape your family life
.
They can be about birthdays and how you celebrate them
.
Or they can be about a particular person
.
One might like a quiet occasion
.
Another a noisy party with lots of friends
.
But then this only happens when you share with each other what makes it special for you
.
Amazing thing is how often couples or families even do not ask each other what they want
.
What is important to them
.
Tell each other what your perfect day or occasion would be and then see if you can provide that for each other.
.
Something simple such as presents
.
They are not simple at all
.
They are important visual symbols of love for some.
.
For others presents do not matter because they can feel loved in other ways.
.
Presents for some while it is words for others
.
Then there are actions we take that are important for each of us
.
The time we spend is another
.
For each one of us responds differently
.
And one or two of these will be the way that we naturally feel loved and appreciated.
.
Some of us will need the right words and also love presents.
.
For many people buying presents for friends and finding out what they would really like is a turn on.
.
For some notice what they do for others it tells us what they probably like themselves 
.
If someone is always giving compliments and saying nice things, then words are it 
.
On the other hand if they are always doing nice things for others then actions may be it.
.
Another clue is to listen to what they complain about
.
This the more so when they are feeling unappreciated and unloved.
.
Is it true that you help each other?
.
Do you spend enough quality time with each other?
.
If your partner has different needs do you know them?
.
Discover what she likes and make sure that you are showing her love in that way.
.
Couple talk can be a powerful cement in any relationship it can also hide the cracks unless we make the effort to learn about each others needs
.
