These 3 things will ensure that YOU will be able to keep your lady blissfully happy in your relationship.
They don’t require money, they don’t require a six-pack, and they don’t even require much effort.
What they do require is the love and dedication to want to make your partner the happiest woman alive. If you want to step up and truly make her yours, continue below.
1. Reassure her regularly of your love
A woman never really takes her man’s love for granted.
It can take the smallest disagreement or shortest period of time without contact for her to start doubting how you really feel about her.
And believe me – she won’t be able to get this anxiety off her mind until you have shown her that you still do truly love her.
Now, I understand how this could feel really frustrating, especially when it seems blindingly obvious that you love her.
But seriously guys, she needs to hear that you do – and she needs to hear it often. It really isn’t enough to just assume that she knows you love her.
Especially in times of conflict or high stress, she really needs to know that despite the fact you may be disagreeing over something right now, you still love her, and your relationship is okay.
2. Make your time together QUALITY
This doesn’t mean you have to be seeing your girlfriend all the time. In fact, it is healthy to have time apart. But it does mean that when you do spend time together, you need to make the most of it, and put a little effort in.
Unfortunately, many couples fall into the pattern of wasting away all their together time by watching TV or DVDs at home.
Aside from this being quite an unhealthy lifestyle, this type of routine can cause your relationship to become boring and unfulfilling – as the excitement of trying new things and really connecting with each other is lost.
To avoid doing this, and instead make your time together QUALITY, try thinking about making plans for when you will be spending time together, surprising her every once in a while, and breaking up any stale routines.
For example, plan a date night or a day at the beach, book a weekend away, or offer to cook her dinner one night.
Bear in mind that a very important part of spending quality time together is also to resist distractions while in her company.
Spending lots of time texting, facebooking, emailing, browsing the internet, talking to your friends, or playing games while in her company is just plain rude. And believe me, she will take note of this.
You can catch up with your friends and favorite websites as much as you like in your own time – but when you’re with your girlfriend, she should be focus of your attention.
Don’t let your toys get in the way of your relationship. Because, let’s face it, a playstation isn’t half as fun to go to bed with at night as your girlfriend is.
3. Boost her self-confidence
Every woman, no matter how damn fine she is, will have a whole list of things she would change about her appearance if she could. Seriously.
Women battle a whole lot of insecurities every day – and it’s no wonder when they are constantly being bombarded with messages about what the ‘perfect women’ looks like, and how they should try to become her.
So what YOU need to do, being the one person she wants to impress the most, is to make her feel beautiful – every day. To make her feel completely perfect as she is.
There are so many aspects of your girlfriend that you can compliment her on and make her feel good about each day – whether it be her appearance or her personality (ideally, both!).
Always make it clear to your girlfriend that you do not expect nor want perfection – you love her completely for who she is, and she IS perfect for you. Help to break down the unrealistic pressures and insecurities she feels about needing to look ‘perfect’.
If she is struggling to accept some areas of herself and really does want to do something about changing them (e.g. wanting to lose weight), then you can support her to do this – without making her feel inadequate or undesirable.
For example, if she is trying to lose weight, you could make an effort to also eat healthy foods when you are with her, and suggest going for walks together. She is much more likely to achieve her goals with your support.
Make sure you reassure her by letting her know that YOU love her the way she is, but if this is going to help her to feel more happy about herself then you support her all the way.
Don’t accept it when your girlfriend brushes off your compliments – stand your ground until she stops disagreeing with you and starts believing.
And if you can compliment her and sing her praises in front of her family, friends and colleagues, you can guarantee that they will fall in love with you too.
