Why is it so hard not tho tell your partner on a regular basis how well they did, how good they look, how much you love them?
I have friends who do this very well: they celebrate their anniversaries every 6 months, they kiss and compliment each other every time they meet, they remember the important dates and don't hesitate to show their affection to people around them as well. They seem like they are freshly in love even after dating each other for four years, and still they don't over-do it.
As Suzanne Phillips writes on her relationship blog, couples not celebrating their relationship can find themselves in a dead end.
As much as celebration without
fidelity lacks substance and drives suspicion, fidelity without celebration can
feel like obligation or habit. Over the years, I have heard too many people
struggling in relationships say “To live with a partner who just doesn’t notice you or what
you do is lonelier than living alone."
By celebrating your relationship, you make a difference between your affection to your partner and other people. We all want and deserve to be noticed. Unfortunately, couples who go for cheating often justify their action by "I did not have any affection or attention from my partner, I was feeling lonely and taken for granted".
Life is short. Why not celebrating the relationship everyday and make the most out of what you still have?
