Since we are constantly changing, try new things with your partner.

In long term relationships, it’s easy to fall into a routine. Try something new!

Always thinking about ‘dating’ and ‘courting’ your partner will prevent you from getting complacent and lessening the effort you put in.

What you put into the relationship, you get out of it.

Even when you’re alone, you have your relationship with yourself. Is it a good one? How do you speak to yourself?

When you shift the relationship you have with yourself, you shift your relationships with others, too.

Reach out if you need some help.

Hugs.

Tag someone who needs this!

Sometimes it’s hard to buy people gifts. I hope this helps.

Have you ever learned how to be in a good relationship? It's a skillset. A practice. It takes conversation, and effort, and trying new things. It is constantly changing and evolving, so you must do the same to match it.

Your partner has a love language they need to have recognized and used. Do you know it?

Your partner needs certain things from you in moments on intimacy. Do you know what they are?

Your partner needs a specific form of consoling after a bad day. Have you asked them how you can best support?

I could go on forever...but even if you think you know these things bout your partner, they are constantly changing! It may not be the same as it was yesterday or last year.

Talk. Ask questions. Communicate.

One of the main reasons my partner and I have such a solid relationship, is because we are aware of stagnant habits. If we are sitting down to watch tv together more than a few days in a row, we actively do something else for an evening that involves conversation and deep connection.

If you need ideas, let me know!

Instead of making assumptions, ask questions.

Assumptions don't usually feel good. We make things far worse in our heads, and build resentment when we don't talk about it.

Talk about it. Ask questions, and come from a place with love. Be open to their responses.

Resentment sucks, doesn't it?

Where do you feel resentment, and why? Notice how you're thinking about the situation. Are you blaming someone else for feeling the way you do?

What conversation do you need to have to make a shift?

The secret to a solid dating experience: self love.

You need to love yourself more than your desire to be in a relationship. If you don’t, you will stay when you should have walked away a long time ago.

I’ve been there, and I don’t want that for you.

Focus on you, who you are, and who you want to be.

What to do if you are triggered in your relationship because of trauma from an ex.

I go through this too. I find myself afraid to text my male friends because I’m scarred from an ex’s response to that.

A good friend of mine struggles to fill the dishwasher because she was constantly insulted by her former partner about how she did it.

These triggers don’t have to be these enormous traumatic physical experiences. The smaller ones are just as real and valid, and have the potential to affect your current relationship if left unhealed.

Communicate with your partner so you can heal through it together.

It’s okay to leave a relationship.

If you ever refer to your own relationship as toxic, it may be time to go.

If you have been wondering if you should leave for a long time now, trust your gut.

I watch too many people settle for less than they deserve.

Most people go through that relationship that’s hard to leave. These are the ones that teach us our worth.

What is your relationship adding to your life?

Why are you in it?
