Relationship 101 in adulthood

Is there anything more romantic than spending time with your partner? Relationships in adulthood can be a bit of a minefield. You're still growing, learning, and working through your own stuff—it's hard to know what to expect, and it's even harder to know how to keep the relationship healthy. It can be hard to find the time to do so. Not only that, but when you're in a relationship, it's important to keep track of all the little things that make up your relationship—from communication to spending quality time together.

Well, I'm no pro but always here to help! I've compiled my favorite resources on relationships into one handy guide: adulting 101. We've got tips on communication, spending time together, and even the five love languages! Relationships are about learning how to give and receive, about respecting each other, respecting yourself, and cherishing the time you spend together. And when you're in a relationship, there's no way around that!

Communication is key: keep each other informed about your thoughts and feelings, but don't try to control each other or tell each other how you feel (unless you want them to). If you want space for yourself or someone else, give it. Respect each other's boundaries and needs as well—don't push them if they say no! And remember that relationships are about two people interacting with each other—not about the relationship itself.

Spending quality time together doesn't mean sitting around watching movies all day (though that is nice sometimes!). It means doing activities together that make both of you feel good: going out for coffee or brunch; taking walks in nature together; going out on trips together; doing things that.

Respect each other's love languages. The five love languages are: quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, and gifts. Your love language is the way that expresses how loved you feel by others. Love languages are based on the idea that there are different ways that people perceive and receive love. Knowing this information can help guide your interactions with others in relationships; it won't make communication any easier or more difficult (just different), but it will help clarify what matters most to each person in the relationship.

The first step toward understanding someone's love language is asking them what kind of things make them feel loved by others in their lives. Some examples are below for your reference :

- Words of Affirmation - Physical touch, such as a hug or kiss, can be a great way to show your loved one that you care.

- Quality Time - Take the time to really listen to your partner and really focus on their needs.

- Receiving Gifts - Give them something they'll cherish, whether it's a piece of jewelry or a book you've read together.

- Acts of Service - Do something nice for your partner (like doing the dishes or taking out the trash).

- Physical Touch - Hugging, holding hands, cuddling—these things will show your partner just how much they mean to you!

Oh and by the way : -

* Take care of yourself first: make sure you're getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, and eating healthy foods. This will help keep your energy levels up so that when you take care of others around you, they can be more present too!
