“It’s always the little things, those little gestures that matter the most.”

Relationships…Well, talking about them, there is always an important repute to be made between people who pay attention to things and people who don’t. While a shiny piece of jewelry wrapped in a small box may be the go-to-image of how to confess your feelings to your special someone, but sometimes, we cannot wrap- the most meaningful things. We don’t have to go all-out on the big things: like this. Even planning small things like taking care of your special someone while they are sick or picking them up so that you could make little moments count. Yes, there are countless things we can do in our relationship daily to convey our feelings. For a few, these actions might be small, but they tend to communicate so much. A bunch of flowers is nice, yet there are so many other ways to show affection, and the effects of it can last long after the flowers have dried. These little things in a small relationship are the most powerful ways to nurture our relationships.

Important gestures:

  • Writing love notes: Yes, we are not in high school anymore, but all the more reason that nobody would expect to open a small piece of paper with “I love you” or “I miss you” written on it. It is easy, free, and can be left anywhere to surprise your beloved. It is a surefire way to put a smile on their faces. It feels amazing to have your significant other do something like this for you.
  • Remembering special days: In every relationship, there are many important dates to remember.  Starting from your first date to all the life accomplishments that happen while you are together. It is very important to remember that just because you and your beloved are together, and love do not have to end.
  • Do things that he/ she want to do with you: Whether it is watching a TV show or going shopping with your significant other, you are not into– do it anyway (and have a good attitude about doing it). Relationships are more about compromises. It means that at times we do things we would not make the person happy. They will appreciate your tiny; efforts and enjoy the experience even more because they get to share that thing with you.
  • Just pay close attention to your partner and react accordingly: In relationships and life, many of us overlook the importance of thoughtfulness. Life moves on quickly, and we get so packed up in our day-to-day routines that we forget to show care and affection to our partners . It also includes getting to know each other’s likes and dislikes. It also means supporting each other through the difficult times and appreciating each other when something good has happened to them. Being thoughtful helps to connect and love more deeply. 
  • Willing to compromise:  When we talk about compatibility, you should always be compatible with your partner. But that does not mean that you will automatically love every single thing they like and vice versa. So if you care for someone and their happiness, you will be willing to experience things: they enjoy, and even they would do that for you in return. Without compromise, things don’t work. Also, there should be an equal amount of balance to keep you both happy and satisfied.
  • Making your partner feel safe: It is not always about physical safeness; it is also about emotional safeness. Just because men enjoy- the feeling of physically protecting their lady love from harm does not mean that they do not need to feel safe in their ways as well. It is not easy for some men to emotionally open up and express themselves. So, they should find ways to open up and express themselves more often.

But why are these little things in your relationship so important?

When your partner does something special for you, no matter how small, it always feels ‘good’. These small gestures are always beneficial to a relationship because these behaviors are the antidotes for healthy relationships. They are rich in communication and have so much to convey.
