Reignite the spark!
1. Truly Listen—Not Just Hear
When relationships reach a breaking point, communication often deteriorates, leaving both partners feeling misunderstood. One of the most powerful ways to positively influence your partner’s feelings is to start listening truly. This doesn’t mean just hearing what they say; it involves actively listening to understand them better.
2. Address Your Behavior Without Defensiveness
It’s natural to feel attacked when your partner points out things they’re unhappy about, but becoming defensive only widens the gap between you.
3. Rekindle Positive Memories Together
A powerful way to influence your partner positively is to remind them of what brought you together in the first place. Bringing up fond memories can reignite a connection and remind you why you fell in love.
