Basically it comes down to three important things — resilience, respect, and responsiveness. Showing respect is one of the most powerful, loving things a couple can do in their marriage. Remember the childhood expression “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never harm me.” Well, that's a myth.
The three A's for increasing relationship happiness include expressing appreciation, admiration, and affection. Consistency in conveying these will increase your individual and your relationship happiness.
One definition of the word resonance is the ability to evoke or suggest images, memories, and emotions. Resonance is something I experienced during the Process and very frequently at Hoffman grad groups, teleclasses, or in sharing with my flock.
A reciprocal and responsive relationship is a relationship involving mutual, or complementary reactions and responses between two parties, where one party (often the adult) reacts quickly and sensitively to the interests, observations, or experiences of another party (often the child).
Healthy relationships involve honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people.
A reciprocal relationship is one based on a mutual exchange of support, mutual respect, and care. Reciprocity is important to all kinds of healthy relationships, whether they're platonic or romantic.
Relationships that are 50/50 are flatlined. Relationship dynamics go up and down based on the three C's: communication, compromise, and commitment.
Men may not be expressive, but they also have emotional needs. They look for comforting companionship, affection, emotional security, appreciation, compatibility, good level of understanding, independence of decision-making, and encouragement from their partners.
It's important for both partners to make space for the other person. Compromise and ongoing communication are key in respecting each other's feelings, needs and values. But compromise shouldn't always be one way. If one partner actively disrespects, ignores or demeans the other person, this is abusive behavior.
Reducing is the most effective of the three R's. The second most effective strategy for environmental stewardship is to reuse. Before throwing something in the garbage, it helps to think about how that item might be reused.
At the forefront of waste management techniques should be waste reduction, followed closely by reuse, and finally, recycling. But all three Rs are important in their own right, as they all have their benefits.
Reduce means to cut back on the amount of trash we generate. Reuse means to find new ways to use things that otherwise would have been thrown out. Recycle means to turn something old and useless (like plastic milk jugs) into something new and useful (like picnic benches, playground equipment and recycling bins).
The triangle's points are intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimate love is the corner of the triangle that encompasses the close bonds of loving relationships. Intimate love felt between two people means that they each feel a sense of high regard for the other.
According to the theory, each love will feel completely different because it signifies a different stage of life. Of course, three love theory is just that: a theory. Not everyone is going to fit into this neatly-tied box or subscribe to the notion of three big loves across a lifetime.
Physical attraction, sexual compatibility, empathy, and emotional connection are key to making a man fall in love with a woman.
Mutual respect, having each other's back, and honesty will make anyone stay in a relationship and be madly in love.
Remember to have fun and relieve stress by spending playful moments with each other. Simple things like chasing each other in the kitchen, trying gardening together, taking up an art project, etc., will go a long way in keeping your man interested in you and valuing you for your ability to keep it light and lively.
A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C's: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated.
Happiness is an individual responsibility
It isn't until we are well into our marriage that it becomes clear to us that our individual happiness is up to each of us. As long as we hold the other person responsible for providing fulfillment, there won't be an end to blame, resentment, and self-pity.
This internal motivation is the ultimate edge and is founded in the what I call, the 3 C's: commitment, consistency, and communication. Commitment is a promise to do or give something. This promise is filled with loyalty to specific goals and objectives. The attitude of someone who works very hard to achieve success.
