Today I will be
continuing my step-by-step approach to relationships!
Will you like to learn
how to keep your relationship exciting? Or are you struggling with discovering
that spark once more in your relationship?
Well, follow the
steps highlighted below and it will enable you and your partner to engage each
other in a much deeper emotional dimension!
1.
Communication,
consistency, connection:
These are the 3 c’s I consistently
discuss in all relationships: Communication, consistency, connection birth commitment. It is extremely important to feed your
relationship with these ingredients to birth a healthy environment of
excitement. This way, there is a constant feeling of support, mutual affection
and ongoing attention and this makes for an everyday, exciting, engaging genuine level
of connection.
2.
Exploration changes perception!:
When you establish an environment of
positivity through applying the 3 C’s you create an atmosphere filled with
energy that could be channeled through exploring. How can exploring make your
relationship more exciting? In multiple ways! You could explore yourselves
emotionally, spend time enjoying one another’s company through a getaway,
scheduled weekend lunches, or even staying at home and playing games that
require consistent engagement. That way, you learn to appreciate one another
and spend time with one another. It
also allows you to see yourselves as not only partners but as also friends! You
could also explore one another geographically-take adventures-go on trips
together-locally, nationally and even internationally if your budget allows it
and if enough time has been invested into your relationship. This way you learn
to adapt as a couple in different settings.
3.
Listen
and Learn:
Now this is an important step towards
enjoying your relationship. When you learn from each other through the 3 C’s
and exploring each other you become more responsive to one another because you have been listening.
This is why learning from each other is so important. What did you learn from your
partner on that trip? That game? That experience? It is directly correlative to
how much you listened to them. Allow
yourself to appreciate your partner
through observing their strengths and weaknesses, that way you learn to engage
with them wholly and completely.
4.
Fun
with family and friends:
5.
Encourage
each other!:
You make your relationship more exciting
when you encourage each other-encourage
each other in acts of affirmation and affection. Don’t limit the way you
encourage your partner through words surprise
them with your actions! Maybe they got a raise or they finally graduated or
finished a course? Well surprise him/her with dinner-buy him/her a gift! Its
not the cost but the thought that counts! Get innovative in how you encourage
each other because this will directly affect how you enjoy one another!
These are practical steps to make your
relationship more exciting- and if you notice, they are all easily applicable
points of reference you can incorporate in your daily interactions. The aim of
this exercise is to create and cultivate an interesting atmosphere laid on the
foundation of your commitment not your
love.
Finally, define your love based on commitment meaning even if you
don’t feel like it, you still act on it!

Q: What steps have you taken to build your relationship on commitment?
Tip: Highlight what phrases you would use to describe your partner i.e. energetic-then work on how you can explore your partner through other missing phrases you would like to incorporate i.e. if a phrase you would like to incorporate is adventurous, then go on a trip or an outing that involves an element of adventure so you can discover each other in that setting!
