Let’s Talk: Why Is It So Hard For You To Show Me That You Appreciate Me?

Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt unappreciated? Why is it so hard for them to show you how much they appreciate you?

When you’re in a relationship, it’s important to show your partner how much you appreciate them. If they are the bread winner, stay- at- home mom/dad, or simply just supportive of everything you do, your partner deserves to be appreciated everyday.

Think about how your life would be if your significant other wasn’t around. A lot of the things they do makes it easier for you or your family. It’s not that they have to do these things alone but to know that dinner is being prepared, the kids are being nurtured, your clothes are being washed, and they still find the time to be there for you mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Take the time to show your partner that you appreciate all that they do to make your family and/or relationship complete.

Your partner shouldn’t have to tell you that they don’t feel appreciated. It should come naturally. Take a few minutes out of the day to tell them you love what they do for you and the family. Take the initiative to give your partner the day off. Take the trash out without them telling you, cook dinner, bathe the kids, plan a date for the two of you, or simply just say “Thank you!”

Don’t make it harder for them by adding more to their to do list. To know that you have a partner by your side that loves you unconditionally and doesn’t mind showing you that they are appreciative can go a long way.

It’s the little things that will put a smile on someone’s face.
