Whether it is a love marriage or an arranged marriage, partners need to value each other and respect does not go out of the window.
If love, respect and importance has disappeared in your relationship, then use these 5 tactics to make it work.
Never give up until you have tried everything.
1. Treat them the way you want to be treated
If you want someone to treat you well then it is imperative that you too treat them the same way. Appreciate the good act, mirror the actions you want to receive. Say thank you to your partner if he/she does something for you and watch them reciprocate the same behaviour in some time.
2. Stop giving in so much
You are nice to your partner but could the issue be that you have been doing a bit too much for them which is being taken for granted? Best way here is to stop doing those things. It will hurt them at first but later they will know what they are missing. Set standards for your own generosity.
3. Appreciate the moments when you are respected
It cannot be so bad that there is not a single moment when your spouse appreciated you. Remember that moment, loudly appreciate that moment. This will let your partner know that you do notice the small things he/she does.
4. Give importance to your own hobbies
Do not quit going out or doing activities that you love so much just because he or she is not going along with you. Continue with your hobbies, let them know that you do not depend on their life for happiness.
5. Meet your friends
The above point is very much linked to this one. You must meet your friends. If you had limited interaction with your friends, which you should never have, pickup the threads again and patch up. Make plans, socialise. Your absence will make your partner realise your importance too and give you more attention.
