How To Strengthen Your Relationship Part 2

In my previous post i briefly discuss how to strengthen your relationship. In this article is a broad explaination of the various tips. As we all know having a strong, healthy relationship does not only keep us happy but also improve our health and connection with other people around us. Below are few of the tips explained in detail: 1. Keep communication Open: Good communication is a fundamental part of a healthy relationship. When people stop communicating well, they stop relating well. As long as you are communicating, you can work through whatever problem you’re facing. Learn your partner’s emotional cues. Each of us is a little different in how we best receive information. Some people might respond better to sight, sound, or touch. Your partner’s responses may be different from yours. Take some time to learn your partner’s cues, and be sure to communicate your own as well. For example, one person might find a brief massage after a stressful day a loving mode of communication, while other might want to be alone. So much of our communication is transmitted by what we don’t say. Nonverbal cues such as eye contact, leaning forward or away, or touching someone’s arm; can communicate much more than words. For a relationship to work well, each person has to be receptive to sending and receiving nonverbal cues. Learning to understand this “body language” can help you better understand what your partner is trying to say. Think about what you are transmitting as well, and if what you say matches what you feel. If you say “I’m fine,” but you clench your teeth and look away, then your body is clearly signaling you are not. Learn to give back the right response and enjoy relationship. 2. Keep physical connection: keeping physical contact is as important as s*x in relationship. Studies have shown that women enjoys physical contacts and makes them feel valued. Even studies on infants have shown the importance of regular, loving touch and holding on brain development. These benefits do not end in childhood. Life without physical contact with others is a lonely life indeed. Studies have shown that affectionate touch actually boosts the body’s levels of oxytocin, a hormone that influences bonding and attachment. In a committed relationship between two adult partners, physical intercourse is often a cornerstone of the relationship. However, intercourse should not be the only method of physical intimacy in a relationship. Regular and affectionate touches including holding hands, hugging, or kissing are equally important. Be sensitive to what your partner likes. While touch is a key part of a healthy relationship, it’s important to take some time to find out what your partner really likes and a type of contact they enjoy most. Unwanted touching or inappropriate overtures can make the other person tense up and retreat and that might exactly what you don’t want. * Feel free to send us your feedback anytime or any question at anytime.
