Do you want a better relationship with your partner? Here is an article that I read from the Natural Awakenings magazine in Orlando Florida whilst I was sipping my coffee?
An accurate way to predict which couples will likely have a lasting, fulfilling and better relationship is to not look at how they fight (even though I do think personally, that this is important) but to look at how they celebrate. Studies have revealed that divorce is not often caused by an increase in negative feelings, but a decrease in positive feelings.
How often you celebrate is more predictive than how often you fight.
Dr Daniel Thomas says “If you want a better relationship with your partner, spend more time celebrating the good things in life”. Celebrating the good things in life will increase your level of commitment, trust, happiness and intimacy.
I just love this one … “Making a BIG deal over all of the good things – no matter how small – can profoundly improve the health of your relationship”
Take pride in all of your relationships that mean something to you. I don’t think this has to be necessarily a relationship that involves intimacy, but any relationship you want to continue and grow. What do you think?
So what can you celebrate today? Go buy your girlfriend or your daughter (as mine is seen above) some flowers to celebrate completing her first year at college. Or go buy your lover a surprise bottle of wine and celebrate that you are both alive and healthy!
Remember that the more we give to others especially during these times of celebrating the small things in life, it can also help both of you with any feelings of loneliness that you might be going through.
I personally love to celebrate. Give me any opportunity to pop open the champagne or go grab that glass of wine to celebrate my heart is beating, or that the sun is shining.
When you did you last celebrate and what did you do during your celebration? Email me here and share your story!
Bottoms up babe!
