How to make your partner always feel wanted and loved

It is important to always show your affection for your partner and spend time with her. If you are constantly busy, specially set dates and arrange dates in order to have each other's undivided attention, give free rein to tender feelings and compensate for the lack of intimacy. Here's what you can do for this:

Kiss.  Just like at the very beginning of a relationship, when you just met and almost exploded with anticipation. Remind yourself of who you were then and how much you wanted to touch lips. Kissing also releases oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin, which make us feel more connected to our partner.

Say “thank you.”  And as specific as possible. For example: “Thank you for helping get the children ready for school in the morning. I couldn’t have done it without you.” True gratitude is about noticing another person's efforts and sharing your feelings. This helps develop emotional intimacy.

React to small victories.  It doesn't matter what your partner did: help a child draw a beautiful picture, make a small breakthrough at work, or patiently communicate with other parents on the playground - be happy for him.

Maintain eye contact.  It promotes intimacy and trust in relationships.

Listen when your partner talks about what he likes.   Better yet, ask him to talk about his hobbies. When a loved one wants to be a part of something we're passionate about, we feel validated. It is an important component of emotional security and intimacy.

Cook food together.   Turn on some nice music. Pour a glass of wine. Feed each other if you don't mind playing with food. Play the fool. This will help you feel like a team and relieve stress.

Flirt.   Gently touch your partner during conversations, wink at him when meeting him, give playful compliments, or use any other signs of attention that will make the person understand that you are still interested in him.

Do massage.  Simply massage your partner's shoulders while watching TV, or your back while cuddling. It is both sensual and helps relieve tension.

Laugh.  Share memes, tell jokes or funny life stories.

Plan.  Where to go on a date. What to cook for dinner. How to spend your vacation. Expectation and variety are key components of a healthy relationship.

Be interested in your partner's dreams for the future.  And discuss together how to implement them.

Do what your partner likes, even if you don't care about it.  Watch his stupid favorite show or do yoga with him and don't nag.

Listen to complaints.  Give your partner the opportunity to speak. Don't offer solutions to the problem. Just listen and support.

Motivate.  Always be your partner's biggest supporter whenever you can. Research shows that support from a loved one increases our chances of achieving our goals.

Give each other space.  Agree on how to share responsibilities and create a schedule so that each of you has time alone.

Have unusual dates.  Wear something your partner likes, even if it's just a T-shirt. Book a table at the restaurant and start with champagne dessert. If you can't go to a restaurant, organize a fancy dinner at home. Do everything you can to make your loved one feel worthy of special treatment.
Tell your partner when someone pays attention to him or looks after him. Anyone likes to know that they are still attractive.

Reminding us of our turbulent past together.  For example: “Remember how we did this when...” Memories of adventures rediscover our more liberated side and let our partner know that he still excites us.

Take your partner's side.   Not all the time, but when it really matters. For example, during family conflicts or disputes at a parent-teacher meeting at school. There is nothing better than knowing that you and your partner are on the same side. Put your hand on your partner’s shoulder, hug him around the waist, squeeze his knee in the cinema hall.

Go to master classes.  Or look for lessons on the Internet that will help you learn something new together: drawing, baking bread, archery. When we learn skills with a partner, we gain confidence that extends to other areas of life.

Stay curious.  It's easy to assume that you already know everything about your partner, but this is usually not the case. Ask questions and listen to the answers with full attention.

Act like you're still dating.  Try to impress your partner, joke and make an effort that he wanted you the same way as at the very beginning of the relationship. It can feel damn good to feel like someone is after you.

Learn to argue.   This means using “I” phrases, not getting defensive, not bringing up past grievances, not avoiding sensitive topics, and knowing when to stop. Couples who don't ignore problems and know how to resolve conflicts constructively end up happier.

Be vulnerable.  Share your fears and valuable memories with your partner. Open up your inner world for him.

Play sports together.  Or at least go for walks. During physical activity, endorphins are released - “hormones of happiness”, which strengthen the relationship with your partner.

Create a special atmosphere.  Turn off the lights and light the candles. Sit next to each other, relax and just have a heart-to-heart talk.

Put your partner first.   Whenever possible, respond to his messages immediately and always answer the phone when he calls. Do everything to make your loved one understand that he occupies an important place in your life.
