In today's relationship tip, you will learn what being kind to your partner means and how critical being kind to your partner is to the quality of your relationship.

What being kind to your partner means

Being kind to your partner means that you show appreciation, affection, understanding and empathy for your partner, regardless of their behaviour.

It also means that you treat your partner the way you would like to be treated yourself.

Being kind to your partner means that you show appreciation, affection, understanding and empathy for your partner, regardless of their behaviour.

Some simple ways to show kindness to your partner include:

- Appreciating the things your partner does for you

- Saying thank you to your partner

- Showing empathy to your partner when they are sad or upset, and

- Being proactive to your partner's needs. For example, you may make your partner dinner if they are running late.

Why is kindness important in a relationship?

While the above actions may seem simple, they are very powerful.

When you show kindness to your partner, it goes a long way towards creating a happy relationship that will last a long time.

This is because showing kindness to your partner makes them feel appreciated, respected and loved. And the more your partner feels appreciated, respected and loved, the happier they will be.

In fact, being kind to your partner is so important that research has found it is one of the biggest indicators of whether or not a couple will create a happy, loving and passionate relationship or a relationship rife with tension and unhappiness.

Kindness And Conflict

Another reason that being kind to your partner is important is that showing kindness to your partner will stop fights from escalating.

For example, imagine that your partner does something that annoys you or upsets you, such as forgetting to wash up or not listening to you when you are talking.

A simple way to react kindly to this situation is to assume that your partner hasn't annoyed you on purpose. Instead, think that perhaps something distracted your partner or that they simply forgot. 

By thinking kind thoughts about your partner instead of angry thoughts, you can let your partner know calmly and gently how their behaviour affected you. This will help resolve the situation in a much more constructive way!
