1. Write a list of all the things that you know your partner loves about you and
wants from you. Write everything down that pops into your mind. 2. Go over each item on your list and ask yourself, “ Do I do that for my partner?” Why or why not? 3. Interview your partner and ask them to be straight with you about what would make you the best partner ever. Make a list without judging, correcting, defending, or taking it personal. Interview them as if you were a reporter writing an article on the ideal partner. Get every detail continue to say what else and be curious, "Tell me more about that, what else do you need, desire, and crave?." Just keep writing don’t repeat anything just get it all down on paper. Pretend they are someone you don’t know so you don’t react. You want to create a safe place. 4. Next to each item be truthful whether you provide this for your partner or not. Then next to your answer write down in a few words why you either do or do not. 5. Now make a list of everything you adore about your partner. Their smile, if they like nature, animals, humor. One way to add intimacy to your relationship is to be really interested in what your partner is interested in. Shift from loving your partner the way you think they should be loved to how they desire love. This is key to being the best partner ever! 6. Notice if there is any difference in what you thought your partners wanted to what your partner needed. In order to feel loved, valued powerful and connected. 7. Make a lifetime commitment to making your partner extraordinary no matter what! Be the gift of being the best partner EVER!! Love is a verb. |
