How are you? A question that can hold a lot of weight, and yet most answer it quick and lightly. When checking in with your partner, friends, family, children, try asking some specific questions to hear about more specific truths.

Many of us can be unaware of unhealthy behaviors, especially if we experienced these behaviors growing up or in past relationships and normalized them. Sometimes it’s hard to see how some patterns are actually detrimental and abusive. This is a great list of some behaviors to watch out for in a relationship. Thank you and

Prioritizing your relationship is important, especially during challenging times. Checking in with one another is vital. We are all built differently, with different backgrounds, so our experience of a moment can vary. Maybe you’re finding this time to be peaceful, but your partner may feel overwhelmed and scared. Have conversations. Spend quality time together. Plan date nights. Don’t neglect strengthening the relationship muscle!

Oh how wise we are all becoming! As challenging, saddening, maddening, and disheartening this time may seem, we are all practicing a beautiful skill—patience. Be kind to yourself during this time and stop setting expectations for what you “should” be doing. Let this time be what it is. Sit with your feelings. Observe your thoughts. Pat yourself on the back for getting through each day.

A little Tuesday humor! Apologizing can be a hard thing to do for some in a relationship. But, apologies play an important role in repairing ruptures in the relationship. They can communicate empathy, remorse, understanding, trust and safety. Apologies need to be sincere, of course, or else they lose their validity. People often struggle with apologizing because they believe it would mean they were wrong or inadequate, but that is not what an apology implies. Apologizing shows that you care about the other person and you hear their hurt. So, when your partner communicates to you that something you’ve done has caused them pain, it’s important to apologize, even if that wasn’t your intent. Example: You share a story at a dinner party about your partner’s recent blunder at work that you both found to be funny. Your partner later tells you that they didn’t appreciate you sharing that story with everyone. You’re taken aback and want to defend by explaining that your intention was just to bring some humor to the dinner, just as the two of you laughed about it earlier. So your intent was not to hurt, but your partner is hurt. Here’s a good response- “I’m sorry! Next time I’ll make sure it’s okay to share one of your stories before I do.”

While many may have experienced traumas and negative experiences in relationships, healing is also an outcome of relationships. When two people are aware of their challenges and wounds, they can communicate together to heal with one another by providing security, trust, understanding, compassion and empathy.

Sternberg’s triangular theory of love describes three components necessary to achieve a true, loving, and fulfilling relationship: intimacy, passion, and commitment. His triangle describes the experience if a relationship only has one component or two. The goal is to have high levels of all three. For instance, relationships high in commitment and passion, but low in intimacy would experience what Sternberg calls “fatuous love.” High passion and intimacy, but low commitment=romantic love. High intimacy and commitment, low passion=companionate love. Commitment only=empty love. Intimacy only=liking. Passion alone=infatuation.

As we are heading deeper into January, how is your love tank doing? The concept of the love tank is to make sure your partner is feeling like they are receiving love, and that you feel like you are being loved as well.
