Do you want to know one of the easiest and fastest ways to improve your relationship with your partner?
What many women don’t know about most men is that what they need most (other than sex) is to feel supported by their partner. When they feel supported, they have the confidence and drive to fully meet your needs and support you.
With that in mind, I offer you this challenge:
For the next 30 days, at least once a day, let your partner know you support him. This can come in varying forms. Some examples are:
- Telling him what a great father he is
- Telling him what a great husband/partner he is
- Letting him know that you appreciate him
- Letting him know that you’re thankful for him
- When he makes a parenting decision, even if you don’t necessarily agree with it, say “I support whatever you decide, honey.”
- Letting him know that you appreciate something he’s done for you (cleaned the dishes, mowed the lawn, works to support his family, gave you a hug, etc…) – You want to show him appreciation for the things you take for granted or think he should be doing anyways
- When he tells you he’s taking off to meet with friends or spend time doing his hobbies, tell him to have fun. And mean it.
Things to avoid. These are things that show him you might say you’re supportive, but your actions say otherwise:
- Eye rolling
- Sighing in dismay
- Being silent
- Pouting
- Withholding sex as punishment
- Giving unsolicited advice
- Correcting him
- Nagging him about chores or anything else
So, are you up for it?
I’d love you to check in here once a day by commenting and let us know if you were able to meet your goal for that day. If you’re not shy, I’d love to here how you supported your partner on that day. That will help you keep you accountable!
At the end of the thirty days, leave a comment letting us now what aspect of your relationship has changed.
Please share this challenge with all the women you know!
Good luck!!
