No relationship is perfect and it takes work to continue to grow in compatibility and challenge the relationship. Look for these things to build compatibility, comfort, and intimacy in a relationship.
- Each of you can accept and know each other’s imperfections (Packers vs Vikings).
- When one person is having a difficult day, you can support them and they can do the same for you (Your team is losing and the others just won).
- You are loved and feel connected when you are yourself in the relationship.
- You can say “No” and let them know if they crossed a line without the boundary being pushed harder.
- Physical intimacy is safe, comfortable, and playful.
- You can repair and reconnect after you have had a disagreement (arguments are a part of challenging one another in the relationship and learning from it).
- You can look at your partner and know that even if you have your issues, they see you in a positive light and want to work on the relationship.
