Does Your Partner Respect You? – H&S Love Affair

Importance Of Respect In A Relationship & The 7 Signs!

Respect is a crucial aspect of any healthy relationship & it is reflected in how you treat your partner and how your partner treats you on a daily basis. Respecting your partner means that you see your partner as your equal, and it shows that you value them and accept them wholly for who they are, even with their flaws and indifferences. This helps you build feelings of trust, safety as well as well-being. Remember, it’s not about controlling your partner or making them do as you please or deem fit, but it’s all about giving them the freedom to be themselves and to be loved for who they are!

Here Are 7 Things Couples Who Respect One Another Are Sure To D0:

1. Talk Openly With Honesty- The truth is not always comfortable or easy. But a couple who respects each other won’t be afraid to speak their mind. Honesty is the best policy and & in the long term, this is what helps a relationship grow stronger.

2. Pay Attention & Listen To One Another!- Paying attention when your partner is talking to you is important and it shows that you understand and respect you respect your partner. When he/she communicates something they like or don’t like for example and you remember it, it definitely shows that you care about their needs and wants.

3. Value & Validate Each Other- To value and validate one another is extremely important for a strong and healthy relationship. It shows that you understand as well as accept one another’s thoughts and feelings.

4. Ready To Compromise- A healthy couple who respects one another, knows it’s not always about being right and ego has no place in a healthy relationship. A healthy couple is, therefore, ready to make compromises in order to maintain a healthy balance in their relationship.

5. Use Kindness In Words & Actions- When you respect your partner, you will always talk kindly not just to them but also about them to others. Your kind actions and words show how much you respect your partner.

6. Give Space & Honour Each Other’s Boundaries- It’s one thing to be supportive of your partner but hovering over them and trying to solve everything for them isn’t needed.

Giving space and honouring each other’s boundaries shows that you respect your partner.

7. Support & Build Each Other Up- A couple that respects each other, will want to support each other be it their interests, goals, etc. A couple with mutual respect will also want to encourage and help build each other up be it by applauding their strengths or encouraging one another.
