There’s a saying: “I’d rather believe in ghosts than trust a man’s words.” Whoever said that must have been hurt by men countless times.
Some people think you shouldn’t listen to what men say, but rather watch what they do.
In a way, that’s true. But language is more expressive than actions, and delicate emotions need to be expressed.
Sometimes, a simple “I love you,” “You’re my everything,” or “You’re the only one I see” can be more powerful than a thousand words.
Of course, just saying “I love you” without backing it up with action is like flirting without commitment.
Loving someone means caring about them, being concerned about them.
You worry about them not having time for lunch, you worry about their stress at work, and you worry about their safety walking home at night.
You learn to cook for them, help them with their PowerPoint, and even run 20 kilometers to pick them up from work because you’re worried about their safety.
In short, loving someone means not only brave enough to say it but also brave enough to do it. You show your love through actions, accompany each other, and grow together, becoming the sunshine in each other’s hearts.
Learn to Appreciate
If someone asked you what you admire most about your partner, what would you say?
These questions shouldn’t only be asked during the honeymoon phase but throughout your life together. We should constantly encourage and support each other, making the other person feel loved and appreciated.
Some people only see their partner’s flaws and shortcomings, constantly pointing them out to feel superior or to provoke their partner.
This approach is baffling. If two people love each other, they should at least appreciate each other, letting love become a driving force.
Sometimes, you don’t need to praise your partner in front of others; that might seem insincere. But you can do it privately, saying something like, “You look great in that dress, where did you buy it?” or “You’ve lost weight, your exercise routine must be working!”
A simple compliment can warm up the relationship and make it last.
Open Up
Don’t close yourself off from your partner. If you have many things you can’t tolerate about them, that’s even more reason to express yourself.
Otherwise, your mood swings will confuse your partner, making them think you’re being unreasonable. This is a communication problem, a result of closing yourself off.
When facing your partner, don’t always present a perfect image while intentionally hiding your flaws, such as fears, failures, and worries.
True love means sharing joys and sorrows together.
Create a Atmosphere and Leave Space for Each Other
No matter how busy your partner is, you should still make time for each other, even if it’s just a meal together. This can strengthen your bond.
This is also why long-distance relationships often don’t last.
Some people complain that they don’t have time to be with their partner because of their kids. However, if you want to, you can find opportunities to share a romantic moment with your partner.
Some people use their kids as an excuse to sleep in separate rooms, not creating any private space for each other. That’s just going through the motions, without any passion or romance.
When you make an effort to cultivate your relationship, and your partner is willing to cooperate, you’ll find that you have your own romance.
Whether it’s watching a movie together or riding a shared bike in a park, these private moments are unforgettable.
Don’t Take Each Other for Granted, Show Mutual Respect
Love comes too easily, making people think it’s not valuable.
In reality, every loving relationship is built on the accumulation of little things, bit by bit.
No one is an accessory to another person, nor is anyone a tool for someone else.
Any relationship requires careful attention from both parties. If you think your partner will always be there for you, no matter what, that’s a mistake.
When you mock or scold your partner, it doesn’t make you superior; it only hurts the heart that’s willing to give itself to you.
You should know that, in this world, the people willing to give themselves to you, aside from your parents, are probably just your partner.
