Therapy allows you to experience what you need to without judgement. Any part of you that shows up is welcome. Defensive? Nice to have you here. Sad? I am glad you came. Angry? Thanks for showing up. Lost? I see you. Bring it all.

Expressing positive things you notice in your partner and noticing those good things are like making a deposit into the emotional piggy bank of your relationship. That bank can never be too full.

Expressing fondness and admiration in your relationships in an intentional and consistent way increases the amount of affection and respect between partners. Your relationship, especially in its early stages, may feel full of infatuation, sexual attraction, and hope. When the newness wears off, however, you’ll be glad that respect, trust, and love remain as a result of your sharing.

Try one of these examples today:
“I’m proud of the way you _____.”
“I’m attracted to your _____ (inside and out).”
“I am impressed that you _____.”
“I like how you _____.”

Find a way to show the most important in your life how much they mean to you. Not just on valentines, but regularly.

Valentine’s Day should not have you automatically reaching for your wallet; it should be a time to celebrate your relationship with your partner & there’s no price tag on that!

Stay in with a much-loved movie, spend time asking each other open-ended questions, or do something else with your partner that the two of you can enjoy. Valentine’s Day presents a perfect opportunity to establish a ritual of connection in your relationship. By watching the same movie, you will form a lasting tradition that you look forward to. This tradition will also give you the opportunity to look back on your relationship and reminisce about years past, reminding you of how strong your bond has become.

What are your favorite rituals of connection - or traditions - around Valentine's Day?

Give 100%. What your “100%” looks like will change every day, sometimes every few minutes. Don’t judge your 100% by your neighbors or your past efforts.
