Let 2023 be the year you let your partner know just how much they mean to you! In the bustling swing of everyday life, stress, burdens and busy schedules, it can be easy to take your loved ones for granted. If you’ve made refreshing resolutions to prioritize you, your health, your wellbeing, and your happiness, why not add your partner into the mix! Consider dedicating 2023 to letting your significant other know how important they are by creating a habit of treating your significant other to something special, helping them out, apologizing, and more! Read on to discover 5 little phrases and actions that can go a long way in the new year.
“I’m sorry”
Squabbles and arguments are a part of any relationship. When you’re intimate with someone it’s inevitable that you’ll have disagreements from time to time. In the heat of the moment, or in the aftermath of an argument it can be difficult to be the one to apologize. Even though you may feel that you’re in the right, it never hurts to be the one to say “I’m sorry” first.
“My treat!”
Don’t let money issues get in the way of your relationship. One person should never feel as though they have to shoulder all of the financial responsibility. Show your honey how much they matter to you by offering to pay the bill every now and then. Small gestures like this are an excellent way to show your partner that you’re in this together – even if you already split finances equally.
“Do you want some time alone?”
Quality time is often a cherished part of a relationship — especially when you’ve both got busy schedules. As much as we know how great a good cuddle session on the couch all day with bae can be, it’s also good to respect your partner’s need for space. Giving your partner some needed time alone can strengthen your relationship, especially if your partner has had a difficult day at work or you’re having trouble getting through to your partner.
“I really appreciate that you__________”
Show your partner just how grateful you are for them! Make it a daily habit to tell your partner why you appreciate having them in your life. Don’t let a day go by without letting them know what they do that makes you appreciate them. Let them know why the kind of person that they are matters so much to you. Hearing how much someone means to you can brighten your partner’s day!
“Is there anything I can do for you today?”
Expressing love and concern for your partner can be as simple as asking them what you can do to make their day a little less stressful. Is your partner running late in the morning? Offer to warm up the car for them. Does your partner need a few errands to be run? Take some time to take care of a few of the items on their to-do list. Gestures such as these let your partner know that you’re there to support them and you’ve got their back.
