10 Ways to Improve Your Relationship Today

1. Become interested in your partner’s endeavors. We all need support in our journeys, especially from our loved ones.
2. Accept the apology. Holding on to an argument when your partner is genuinely asking for an apology only prolongs hurt.
3. Turn off the technology. Being present with each other is very difficult when your attention is divided.
4. Make an effort to compromise on difficult decisions. If no one moves to a mutual agreement, you both are left upset.
5. Use “I” Statements. Take responsibility for how you feel rather than blaming your partner. Ex: “I feel hurt when I am not invited to events.” vs “You never invite me to events!”
6. Show up. Relationships are not part time gigs; make an effort to show up mentally, physically and emotionally, just as you would like your partner to do.
7. Allow for mistakes. Couples can be quick to jump on the mistakes of each other but often minimize the weight of their own. Make an attempt to understand.
8. Take interest in complimenting your spouse. We all enjoy hearing compliments and especially from people we love.
9. Let go of past hurts. If these things have already been worked through, there is no reason to hurt your partner by berating them with the past. If you are able to do this successfully, you will definitely improve your relationship today.
10. Admit when you need help. We all go through difficulties in our relationships. Seeking help from a professional can be the very thing you need to move forward successfully in your relationship.
