Many a time we can end up going on and on about so Many a time we can end up going on and on about something we have done for our partner and this can really undo the feel-good factor of the act of service that we did for them. 

So stay mindful of being humble the next time you are in such a situation. And observe their reaction, it is possible they will be able to appreciate it and cherish it much more.

Hope you are well.

We should be able to ask each other for advice wit We should be able to ask each other for advice without feeling obligated to follow it. After all, only the person in the situation knows all the factors involved ... only they can decide what feels like the right course of action for them. 

So don't take it personally if your partner goes another way from what you suggested.

Dont just say the first thing that comes to your m Dont just say the first thing that comes to your mind when it comes to a complaint about your partner's family. Doing so may backfire🔥

✅️Put in the work to calm down and introduce the topic gently with your partner when they seem relaxed. And above all, make sure you don't speak in a way that makes them feel blamed for their parent's behaviour.

This is a common cause of conflict amongst most couples I work with and needs to be handled with utmost skill. 

Have a good week.

Not only ⬆️ but your partner too should value Not only ⬆️ but your partner too should value your dreams as much as they value their own. 

➡️And above all, you should value your own dreams and aspirations ... don't sacrifice them. In a healthy relationship there is mutual consideration and mutual sacrifice. One person should not have to be the one to usually sacrifice. 

Hope you had many reasons to smile today.

Research reveals that the first 3 minutes of a discussion are critical and set the course for the rest of it. 

So it is really worth training ourselves to pause, self-soothe and self-reflect before bringing a complaint to our partner. 🤔

➡️Don't offer advice unless your partner asks ➡️Don't offer advice unless your partner asks for it. I'm guilty of this myself and have been working quite hard to train myself to let go of my need to look out for my husband and proactively give suggestions. It usually backfires. 

➡️I've learnt to wait and see if he feels the need to ask for my opinion and only share my views if asked to. 🤐

➡️Of course if you feel there is a serious issue which requires intervention, then it would be wise to offer your views without waiting to be asked, but here too you need to be mindful about how you are sharing your opinion. 

➡️🤔So pause the next time you feel like suggesting something to your spouse or partner and remind yourself that your well-meaning advice could backfire unless they are open to receiving it.

➡️It is important to understand what makes you ➡️It is important to understand what makes your partner tick.⏰️ Only then can you understand how to get through to them in a way that will be effective and suitable for their unique personality and mindset. 

➡️Don't assume what works for you will work for them. We are all different and just like different plants require different amount of sunlight, shade, water and nutrients, human beings too differ in their requirements. 🪴

➡️So make the effort to understand them at a more deeper level.

Hope this was helpful.

Equality, fairness and mutual respect are essentia Equality, fairness and mutual respect are essential pillars of a healthy, satisfying relationship.🤝

Make sure you do not undermine your partner because they earn less than you. Equally important is to place yourself as an equal if you earn less than they do.

🔥You are not defined by your salary, designation or employment status. What you bring to the relationship is so much more. Remember this always.

➡️It is not always possible to have a mutually ➡️It is not always possible to have a mutually respectful and warm relationship with our in-laws. And it's practically impossible to have one if they have fixed judgements and are unwilling to be open-minded and respectful. 

➡️So, although we must certainly put in our best efforts to stay open and warm and build a relationship with them, at some point it is important to step back and ask yourself if you have tried hard enough and whether there is anything further left to do.🤔

➡️Explain your feelings to your partner without blaming them for their parents' behaviour and stop trying too hard. Let go of the unachievable goal of winning them over and try to accept the relationship as it is. 

➡️This is important for your personal wellbeing and also for the wellbeing of your relationship. Such issues can really derail a marriage over time, so be mindful.
