Stop chasing this.
There comes a point in life where you need to stop chasing toxic people and start seeking a mentally stable person who reciprocates back your efforts and consistency .
Here are some important things to remember....
Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.
Date nights are mandatory.
Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.
Learn each others love languages.
We all don’t perceive love the same way.
Never go to bed angry.
When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.
It will get boring sometimes.
Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.
It’s normal and it will eventually subside.
This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.
Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.
It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.
It’s perfectly okay to go to couples counselling.
Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.
Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and have genuine heartfelt conversations with each other.
Ask questions like
“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”
And most importantly, be kind to each other.
Love each other.
Fight for each other.
Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.
But at the end of the day when the dust settles...it's definitely worth it.
