Building a strong bond with your partner

Building a Strong Bond With Your Partner

This topic has endless discussions, but in this post I'll go over some general suggestions that could help reinforce your bond.

As it is ALL relationships have challenges, but couples who experience infertility and/or loss feel like they've been through war together.

It's tough! You deal with things you NEVER thought you would & that no one ever should!

But those struggles can STRENGTHEN your bond because you survive it TOGETHER!

1. It seems redundant to say Communicate because I think most couples know this, but in another post I will dive into exactly HOW to finesse your communication skills.

2. Always remember that you're a team so you must work together. Each person has their strengths & weaknesses. In a team, you strive to support each other to balance them.

3. You're in this together.

You have the same mission, you're on the same side. It's important to never lose sight of that.

3. Make an effort to keep your connection by expressing love & appreciation & showing kindess.

4. Show affection. Take 1 minute EVERY DAY to just stop & hug. Or find your own way to just touch. There are a multitude of studies that prove that touching between loved ones has physiological healing effects.

5. Have a sense of humor. Remember to laugh together.

6. Take care of yourself, each other, and your relationship. Give each the time & nourishment they need to be healthy.

7. Have a weekly check-in of uninterrupted time to spend together. You may speak or sit in silence, but this is a time you spend to connect.

These are just some of many tools to help.

It is unfortunate that any couple go through infertility or loss, but if they commit to overcoming it TOGETHER it can strengthen their bond instead of breaking it.
