#1 Hugs Help
Just hug her for no reason sometimes. In fact, there's some psychological research that suggests physical closeness can help strengthen the relationship between two individuals.
Whether you're both at a good place or your relationship needs some mending, something as simple as a hug can work wonders to bring you and your partner closer together.
#2 Special Surprises
Most of us like surprises. It can be something as small an unexpected text reminder of what you mean to them or arriving home with a favorite snack.
Little unexpected things can show us you were thinking of us when we weren’t around and that’s always lovely. Heck, even something like, “I saw this meme and thought of you,” it would make me smile. It doesn’t have to be grand gestures...
just something to show the thought was there.
#3 Critical Communication
Communicate instead of yelling. I have made a pact with myself to never be with a person who doesn't make an effort to communicate with me. It's paid off immensely and I'm now super happy with a wonderful man who I never argue with.
It's a refreshing change from all the other toxic relationships I've had. I'm not saying not arguing ever is normal, but it definitely isn't normal when people yell and cuss as a communicative norm.
#4 Not One Of The Guys
I may hang out with your friends like one of the guys or play video games like one of the guys, but I am not one of the guys. I am your girlfriend. Give me attention outside of hanging with your friends, do things with me other than what you like to do with your friends, and spend quality time with me away from your friends. Not as a special treat, not as a holiday surprise, but as a normal part of our relationship.
