Discover The Power Of Positive Communication In Relationships

Last updated by Katie M.

A friend once told me that a relationship is like the inside of a snow globe; intimate, preserved and sheltered. We build our relationships over time, but each criticism, each remark and each insult shatters this globe and could possibly see its beauty totally disappearing. In what state is your snow globe? As for me, I decided to repair the first visible damage to mine, by using positive communication.

The importance of positive communication in love

Today, caring education is emphasized and strongly recommended to young parents. The idea being that encouragement, compliments, listening and encouraging behaviors contribute to well-being, happiness and the acquisition of self-confidence. If it works for children, why should things be different in adult relationships? If our environment emphasizes the positive, we will be more motivated, have a much better chance of getting better and continue to move forward serenely. If, on the other hand, everything we hear is negative, we will most likely collapse. By telling my husband that he's not caring and that he doesn't make any effort, do you really think he's going to end up changing? There's nothing to be gained by constantly going putting your spouse down.

4 Tips on how to communicate positively on a daily basis

To grow or save your relationship, talking positively to your spouse is an excellent place to start. But before it becomes automatic, you have to practice!

1. Say "I love you"

We should never wait until it's too late before saying "I love you" to our loved ones, especially with our spouse. Hearing an "I love you" from time to time is flattering, it feels good, it makes the heart beat, and it strengthens feelings. If you have trouble expressing your feelings, make an effort and get out of your comfort zone and the effect will be even more powerful.

2. Enjoy your special couple time

After being apart, remember to hug, kiss and say hello when you see each other. These small gestures reinforce the feeling of union and can sometimes erase the worries of the day. Thanks to these small gestures, your spouse will feel more loved and desired.

3. Listen carefully

There are also times when we want to appear attentive and concerned at all costs and where we give advice after advice. Except that, sometimes, when our spouse confides his concerns to us, it's simply to have an attentive ear and not a ton of roundabout advice. It's true, if you think about it, most of the time we already know very well what we have to do, we just want to complain, confide in each other and receive support or encouragement. In short, listen and give advice only if you are asked. Active listening is a powerful communication tool in a couple.

4. Encourage and support each other

Encouraging your lover is very positive and can have a liberating and powerful effect, because it boosts self-confidenceOf course, it's useless to give false hopes, but to give compliments on a daily basis, to show admiration, if you look closely, it doesn't cost much, and it's very constructive for the couple.

Editor's note - Spending time together

In relationships, communication is important, but we should add that it is face-to-face communication that is important. Nowadays, many disputes between couples are settled by text. Face to face discussions are the cement of the relationship and the best way to achieve this is of course to spend as much time as possible together. The expectations of your partner should not remain in the darkness, and you should feel close to each other.

What Are The 6 Types Of Narcissism?

There are a whole range of narcissistic personalities out there, and they scale from highly toxic to rather positive (surprising, right?!). That being said, most mental health experts agree that there are 6 types of narcissistic profiles, which whilst they may all be based on an inflated sense of self-esteem, they are in reality all drastically different, and more or less severe. When it comes to dealing with this type of personality disorder, it’s best to know what you are up against, in order to react appropriately, as well as to avoid falling into their traps and becoming their latest victim. After all, knowledge is power, and that’s never be truer than in this particular context.

10 Weird Things Narcissists Do Sexually - Romance Is Dead

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

Are Narcissists Born Or Made? - Let's Settle The Debate

There you have it, the nature vs nurture debate is back, only this time I want to focus it on those deviously manipulative personalities we refer to as narcissists. Now, evidently these folks get bad press and rightly so because they are often at the root of plenty of harm, but is it really their fault? Can they really be blamed for their terrifying and perhaps inherent traits, or are they simply just products and in this case victims of their environments? Let’s settle this debate once and for all and figure out how and when this disorder becomes apparent. So, are you born a narcissist or is it developed?

Why Your Boyfriend Gets Defensive When You Talk About My Feelings

Relationships are never exactly straightforward, and at points, a crystal ball wouldn’t go amiss when it comes to understanding what your partner’s reactions are hiding. Now, sadly not all of us own a trusty crystal ball, but our experience when it comes to love is just as precious in analyzing potential pitfalls related to emotions. This may sound a little cliché, but us girls love talking about our feelings, whether that be about when we are falling in love, or when we are feeling sad. Yet some guys get really defensive whenever these serious topics come round, here’s why.

How Long Will A Narcissist Rebound Relationship Last?

Narcissist rebound relationships generally last anywhere from 6-months to a year. Now, whilst the timeframe depends on each individual, these twisted personalities usually head into these relationships with a plan in mind, meaning they know exactly when and where they'll break things off. Plus, when they are in the final stages of a relationship with you, they are no doubt in the process of grooming their next victim. That's right, the need for a constant narcissistic supply means that they aren't likely to date any one person for an extensive period of time. For them, they require fresh blood every 6-months or so because they simply get bored. Let's take a look at the reasons why they keep their rebounds short, but not so sweet.

Is Sleeping With A Colleague Or Your Boss A Dangerous Game?

I’ve had a crush on someone at work before. Honestly, if I hadn’t found out later that he was in a relationship, I’d have gone all out to seduce him. Except that we all know the “No sex at work” rule, which means that it’s a bad idea to sleep with a colleague, or worse, your boss! Is it really that dangerous a game? What do you risk if you’re caught in the act? I’ll explain it all to you (yes, I did my homework before going for it)!

I’m Having Doubts About My Relationship

This happens often. Since life in a relationship, and even love, are never a smooth ride, of course, I have my doubts 😵‍💫. Not on the same wavelength, the impression that the grass is greener on the other side, different plans… Under the weight of doubts, love loses its splendor. Can it be fixed? I don’t think so, but the important thing is to know how to react.

What Is Candaulism?

Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism. Although that’s not all, the term can also apply to a male partner watching his girlfriend or wife making love to someone else. So, let’s take a peep (get it?) at this practice.

Create a Peaceful Living Space

For years, I didn’t really take care of my home. Not that it was dirty, but there was no particular decoration, and most of all, a lot of clutter. Then one day, I decided to do a major decluttering! I thought it would be a dreadful task, but in the end, I realized that organizing my apartment also helped clear my mind. We often overlook this, but having a peaceful living space truly makes a difference!

Mature Love: How Do Relationships Evolve Over Time?

They say that love is like fine wine: it evolves, matures, and becomes even more delightful with time. I say "they say," but in reality, I’m certain of it. Even though I’m single as I write this article, I’ve experienced long-lasting love stories, and there’s nothing quite like reaching mature love—the kind that provides security and support. That’s why today, I want to talk to you about how romantic relationships evolve!
