"To become the best possible partner that you can be, it's essential to know how to make your partner feel loved. Love is something people experience through actions and emotional connection. And while everyone has their own way of giving and receiving love, in general, feeling loved comes from really knowing your partner sees you and makes conscious as well as consistent efforts toward the relationship."
"The most powerful way to make your partner feel loved is by valuing them. Researchers found that valuing your partner is the strongest predictor of relationship satisfaction. It's easy to stop noticing the things your partner does for you, whether they are new gestures or habits they've been consistently maintaining. For that matter, even routine actions, such as making your coffee or helping out without being asked, are still efforts that deserve acknowledgment, which you may start taking for granted."
Emotional experiences with a romantic partner strongly influence relationship satisfaction. Valuing and genuinely appreciating a partner is the strongest predictor of relationship satisfaction. Noticing both new gestures and routine actions, and expressing gratitude for those efforts, reinforces a positive cycle and prevents taking contributions for granted. Active mutual support during stress through listening, encouragement, or sharing responsibilities fosters feelings of gratitude. Only a subset of emotion-management approaches reliably predict stronger relationship satisfaction, with conscious appreciation and supportive coping emerging as key pathways to making partners feel seen and emotionally connected.
