Personal Growth and Your Relationship!
Personal growth impacts relationships. Key is…you’re both evolving and growing together in a way that continues to unite you and fosters a relationship that works for you both.
Here are 3 ways couples can continue their bond while focusing on their own personal growth:
- Create rituals that keep you connected
- Create some type of vision, goal, vow, or statement of your relationship
- Become aware of one small thing you can do to enhance yourself and your relationship
Create Rituals that Keep You Connected
Rituals for your relationship can help you and your spouse or partner stay connected. They are personal growth rituals for your relationship!
These personal growth rituals can help you both know that you matter. That your relationship is important and that you are important.
Key is, the relationship personal growth rituals you create must be meaningful to you both!
Some examples include:
- How you greet each other at the beginning of the day
- How you say goodnight to each other at the end of the day
- How you greet each other when you come home to each other
- How you say goodbye to each other when you leave each other
- How you celebrate with each other
- How you take time to listen and talk with each other
Create a Statement of Us
Creating relationship goals, vows, or a statement of us that represents your bond and commitment to each other can be very beneficial for couples.
It’s a personal outward representation of what matters most to both of you.
Some examples of how this might look are:
- Creation of vows that communicate your commitment to each other
- Creation of a representation, maybe it’s a verbal statement or maybe it’s a picture, of what you both hold important in your relationship. What you both strive to achieve, foster, nurture and grow in your relationship
One Small Thing
Can you think of one small thing you can do today that can have a positive impact on your personal growth?
Can you also think of one small thing you can do today that can have a positive impact in your relationship?
An example might be:
- One small movement in how you talk to yourself about yourself, your goals, your hopes, your dreams
- One small movement in how you talk to your spouse or partner
