How to Create Secure Relationships
How Well Do You Know Your Partner?
One of the most important elements of love in an emotionally committed relationship is “knowing your partner”. As we navigate the various stages of love, how we know each other takes on a greater and greater significance.
Pro-Relationship vs Pro-Self
It is not uncommon for couples to think that taking care of themselves as individuals will be good for the relationship. They are right, as long as their focus isn’t only on their own feelings, needs and desires.
How to Avoid Walking on Eggshells
When we ask couples to tell us what they value most in a relationship, they often say “honesty!” They want their partners to be truthful, to be open about what they feel, to reveal more of themselves.
To Have and To Hold for Life
Remember those heady days when you knew you were really meant for each other? What dreams did your share about the life you would create? How do you keep your emotional connection alive?
Overcoming the Fear of Intimacy
Even if you want to feel more closely connected, you may find it difficult revealing yourself to your partner. You may be afraid to speak up and let your feelings be known for fear of hurting his or her feelings.
