These 21 Tricks Will Assist You In Becoming A More Caring Spouse

Let’s admit this. During the phase of courtship, we never thought anything could ever go wrong in our relationship or the spark could ever die. But, did it remain the same a couple of years post marriage? Obviously not. And how will it? It is one thing to spend some quality time with someone that matches your interest, while its an entirely different thing to live with someone under the same roof, share chores and responsibilities and enjoy doing it for the rest of your life.

However, every once in a while, we do come across a couple who would have completed many years being together and still look like they are in awe of each other. Well, that’s not as easy to achieve as it looks. There is a lot of concern and passion that goes into keeping a relationship happy and healthy. We have mentioned below 21 tricks that are sure shot methods when you have to bring back that craziness in your married life. These methods are backed by couple therapists and experts, so you can rely on them without thinking even twice.

Being attentive and listening to them

Active listening is crucial, not just when you are with your spouse, but in any conversation that you are a part of. And it is sad that we fail to understand its importance ninety percent of the time. So, whenever you are with your spouse – be there with your mind, body, and soul. If you can’t for some reason, just let them know you are caught up and will talk to them later.

Letting them know they’re on your Mind

Just because you two are now married, that shouldn’t mean you can’t use cheesy, lovey-dovey lines on your partner. There is no better feeling than knowing you are being missed by your better half. Beverly B. Palmer, a clinical psychologist, stresses the importance of this point. She says that to be a thoughtful partner, you have to take some time out to “let your partner know you are thinking about them and putting them first in your mind.”

Checking in with them

It cannot be expressed in words what a calm and meaningful conversation with your spouse can do for your relationship. Emily Sounder, a licensed couple therapist, encourages her clients to ask their partners questions of the sort of “how is everything going” or “is there anything I can do for you.” This would help you immensely in understanding your spouse’s behavior and moods. She highlights the fact that the incidents happening outside your home also have a bearing on your relationship.

Planning a trip

Traveling relaxes your mind and rejuvenates your body like nothing else. It doesn’t matter whether you are out on a solo trip, with friends or with family, a trip to a hill station or a beach city is just what it takes to push all your life’s troubles at a far back corner of your brain. And, can there be a better travel partner than the person you have chosen to raise your kids and get old with? So, what are you waiting for? Book tickets now before they run out. But wait! Ask your partner where they would like to spend their holiday.

Surprising them with your culinary skills

No matter whether someone is a foodie or not, everyone likes to eat. It is something we do three times or day (or even more). Therefore, it goes without saying that if you want to please someone, the easiest route has to be serving them their favorite dish. Moreover, there is something really heart-warming about someone taking the effort to cook something up for you. It just makes you feel like the most special person on the planet. Worry not! It’s not even one bit about how the food turns out. Believe us, your partner is going to appreciate your efforts.
