How To Love

9 Key Points

Reassurance

Personality

Name Calling

Your partner may struggle with the concept of themselves deserving love and is burdened with abandonment issues. Tell them you love them and how important they are often, especially when he/she is away from you. It will help calm their mind.

Do not insult your partner’s personality!

Through years of emotional distress (any kind), the only person that has truly been there for them is himself/herself. Attacking his/her personality is like harming their best friend. In this situation you have two options:

Accept who they are as an individual and learn how to be in a relationship with them

Understand that you may not be compatible and move on

Never call your partner out of their name!

For one, calling someone out of their name is disrespectful. Also, this can lead to having an unhealthy relationship.

Never call your partner annoying!

The fact that your partner came out of their shell to be playful with you is a beautiful thing, but because he/she rarely feels that level of joy, then they may get carried away. Never call them annoying for this.

Emotions

Interest

Attention

There will be times when your partner is upset for no reason, but do not tell them that it is false or that they do not have a reason to feel this way. That will cause them to be afraid of expressing themselves with you and damage the communication aspect of the relationship.

It will make your partner’s whole week for you to ask about things they care about. Whether it is their favorite show, music, sport, or video game, it will show them that you care and pay attention to their interests.

When your partner is talking to you, give them your undivided attention (eye contact and listening ears). Attention is important and your lack of attention will cause him/her to feel unimportant. Set aside time to put your cellular devices down and focus on each other with no distractions.

Best Friends

Faithful

Stick It Out

It is vital to every relationship that both of you begin as friends. A solid friendship needs to take place before taking the next step to being in a relationship. You should be the most important person in each other’s lives. Be best friends!

Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!

Be committed to your partner! It would hurt your partner much less to break up with them for someone else than to go behind their back and cheat.

Don’t run away!

Your partner needs you and you are going to find that out quickly. If he/she is being too much, then just let them know. However, do not ignore them! When they express that they need you, it is a cry for help and reassurance. Be the support system they need!
