Relationships are important to all of us. Humans thrive on relationships. Intimate partnerships are even more important because they are considered adult attachment relationships, where there’s a similar need for safety, security and connection, as there was when you were born and relied on your parents / primary caregivers.
There are things you and your partner can both do to improve the quality of your relationship.
Here are 25 steps to a securely attached and amazing relationship:
Communicate openly
Listen
Validate
Empathize
Respect
Trust
Give affection
Prioritize each other
Check in with each other
Nurture yourself individually – as well as the relationship
Identify / work on family of origin patterns or wounds impacting the relationship
Take an interest in each other’s hobbies
Date nights
Playfulness
Don’t let resentment build up
Learn healthy conflict resolution skills
Friendship
Sexual intimacy
Reliability
Honesty
Loyalty
Mutual support of each other’s dreams
Forgiveness
Kindness
Love
This list is by no means comprehensive. I invite you to add your own to mine. What makes a “securely attached and amazing relationship” to you?
