The most accessible way to establish mutual understanding and strengthen trust is to talk.
Speak directly about what you think, feel, what you value, and what you would like to change. The following phrases will help you with this.
Hug me (let me hug you)
Touching and hugging lowers cortisol levels and reduces stress.
This effect is especially strong in women, but men also feel better from the feeling that a loved one is nearby.
Don't be shy about asking your significant other for a hug or offering your hug to your partner - most likely, they will be happy about it.
I care what you think about this.
It is not surprising that adults have different views on some things. This is great because it allows you to look at the issue from different angles and not miss important details.
From time to time, ask your partner what he (she) sees from his (her) point of view - this way you will not only avoid mistakes, but also strengthen the relationship in the couple.
I miss you (I need you, I feel bad without you)
Don't think that your partner already understands that if you are together, it means you need each other.
Sometimes it's worth saying out loud even those things that seem obvious. Remind your chosen one that your relationship is important to you, and it will only get stronger.
