In a matter of hours, we’ll be
saying goodbye to 2018 and welcoming 2019.
As per tradition, most people
always draw up resolutions they want to follow through in the new year.
In 2019, these are the five
golden rules to abide by in your relationships.
Speak up
Ideally, communication is crucial
in a relationship: whether it is speaking or listening to your partner.
The common reason communication
is deficient in most relationships is because many people are afraid of
confronting their partners or being confronted.
Because of the fear of
confrontation, most individuals will tend to be passive observers in their
relationship and resolve to wishful thinking that their partner gets the
message they’re trying to pass across.
In the coming year, endevour to
speak up more often. Whatever it is that pricks your concern in a relationship
should be discussed.
Demand to go over matters with
your partner rather than remaining silent. Never let the fear of the outcome of
such discussions stop you from speaking out.
Celebrate milestones in your relationship
Milestones help us in marking out
goals we wish to achieve in our lives. This theory works the same way in
relationships.
In 2019, you and your partner
should commit to identifying and setting goals you both want from the
relationship. This is a huge step in investing in the relationship as well as
making clear intentions.
It should be noteworthy that much
effort should be put into celebrating achieved goals no matter how small they
are.
In doing all these, set
realistic, short-termed goals to avoid the unnecessary pressures that
unrealistic and humongous goals cause those who set them.
Appreciate more
Our lifestyles have a way of
robbing us of the most important things in our lives, namely our romantic
partners and even family and friends.
In the new year, put in more time
and effort in appreciating each other: the special person(s) in your life. No
more excuses.
Spend more time alone
This might seem like an odd
addition but it is highly important. A lot of individuals are unaware of the
power of taking time to be alone.
Being alone helps in
self-discovery in the most unimaginable ways. The advantage of taking out some
me-time is that you better understand yourself, making it easier to communicate
with your partner on how you wish to be treated.
Travel alone, go to the coffee
shop alone, take up a one-man habit and stick to it for self-improvement in
2019.
Adopt a hobby together
As much as one loves their
partner, the best way to get to know them more is spending time with them.
Adopting a new hobby that involves both of you is the way forward in the new
year.
Commit to and choose fun,
educative and recreational hobbies that you both find comfortable. You’d be
surprised at the level of bonding, happiness and satisfaction you’d both get
from this.
