The Secret Ingredient to Love: Cherish Your Partner

I Cherish you!

Let me ask you this: How many times do you cherish your partner?

Everywhere we see and hear people writing and talking that we are living in a life period where everything is faster. But no one tells you how to stop and give attention to your life and relationships.

Let me give some ingredients that you can work and rock on your life and intimate relationships:

1. Team First
   Remember that you are your partner are a team, no matter what.
   
2. Be fair, Be You
   Disappointments and disillusioned will arise at some point in the relationship, be fair with your partner. Don’t play the blame game, and remember your partner’s background is different from yours.
   
3. Vulnerability
   Allow yourself and your partner to be vulnerable. One of the reasons why emotional betrayal appear, it’s because the couple don’t allow each element to express their individual needs/fears.
   
4. Resiliency
   If you or your partner are facing challenging moments in life, see this as an opportunity to get close and offer support. The best relationships are those built during hardships where you have emotional support from your partner, no matter what.
   
5. Self-reflection
   Your self-beliefs are the inputs you introduce into your life and your relationship. When you don’t cherish your core values, you don’t see your partner as one individual. But when you live according to your core values, you allow your partner to experience their lack of congruency, taking the responsibility to recommit and correct what is necessary.
   
6. Become an Alpha People
   There is a wrong idea about the meaning of being one alpha person, often associated with negative traits. Alpha people can deal well with stress and watch over their tribe at the same time. Alpha people solve problems or at least seek all kinds of solutions for them. Alpha men or women will respect their partners, cherish them, making sure they are safe and feel loved. One of the best qualities of Alpha people is, they will sacrifice their own needs if the intimate relationship needs support. Honesty, assertiveness, open to new ideas, willing to take risks are just short examples of qualities in these people.

If you try to follow with baby steps the points above, I’m sure you will start to experience substantial changes in your life and intimate relationships. The only thing I ask you is to be yourself, no matter what. With this, I mean, treat the ones you love with respect and remember you are with them for one reason.

To my partner,

Before closing this article, I would like to say it has been an incredible journey be in our intimate relationship. We have so much ahead waiting for us. Your struggles, your anxiety, and scared moments made me realize how much beautiful human being you are. You are a strong man, but you do have feelings, you feel pain, you feel anger, you do feel happiness.

You changed my life, and I love it when I see you being vulnerable with me. There is no reason anymore for you to feel alone I’m by your side with no empty promises.

“Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too much to take
That all ends when I’m with you”

And because we are talking about passion, I share with you the last article of Dr Thomas Maples

With love,

Alexandra
