Remember the halcyon days when you first met your wife or husband? Those terrific romantic sexy days when you just enjoyed being in each other’s company and could chat for hours. You would do those special things for each other just to see the look of pleasure on his/her face. They were the days when your relationship was special and spirited and you felt fully alive because of it.
Now the “Limerance” stage is long gone, as it always does………. but have you evolved into an even better version of a deeper fuller love? …..Or have you been taking your loved one for granted and busying yourself with other “more pressing” things, like jobs and children and work around the home, and finances and friends?
One of the most common stories I find in my private practice as a Psychologist specializing in Relationships is a “natural neglect” in secure relationships.
Even though everything in your shared life is based on a foundation of your love for one another, and your shared life, it’s all too easy to take for granted that your relationship will always be there, without realizing that it, too, needs attending to and nurturing.
Perhaps you could have a good talk with your partner and ask him/her how happy he or she is in your relationship, on a rough scale of 1 to 10. Then follow it with the more important question of “What would make it a 10 for you?”
Keeping your relationship alive and healthy needs ongoing attention, but not only does it make for a more pleasurable life, but is one of the most enduring aspects of a life well lived.
In the twilight years of one’s life, thoughts more often than not turn to how treated others, rather than how much money will I die with.
If you’ve let your relationship go, a relationship Psychologist can show you, in a few sessions, how to bring back the vibrancy, chemistry and love again.
