When we talk about a strong connection with the man of your life, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it physical hugs? Kissing? Holding hands? Or maybe fancy dates? All of these are dreamy to talk about, but it is never enough to see through your partner. Being there for your loved ones during happy moments is a fairy tale, but do you find yourself connecting on a deeper level during difficult moments? Emotional bonding in relationships is one of the building blocks of a healthy connection.
Dating comes with ups and downs. This makes it important for the partners to understand one another and create a bond that goes beyond just spending time together. A strong and meaningful connection with your Prince Charming is a must, but how to connect with a man successfully? Today, we are going to shed light on meaningful relationship tips tested out by dating experts.
When you are dating, you trust your partner enough to share your secrets with them, important news, happiness, sadness, and all sides of you.
To put it simply, building emotional intimacy allows you to connect with your partner through expressing feelings, trust, and vulnerabilities. If emotional intimacy is lacking in one of you or both of you, there will be a lack of support, love, safety, and overall connection. It may also affect your physical relationship with your man and prevent you from creating a lasting relationship.
Developing intimacy in dating is not something you can achieve in a span of one night; it has to be an ongoing process with strong consistency. To master the art of meaningful connection with your man, here are a few things you can start practicing today!
It is an easy job to compliment your man regardless of the years you have spent together. It is not something you do only in the initial dating days. Learn positive attributes of your loved one and make them feel special.
Some affirmations you can give your partner may be -
Thank you for your time today.
I really appreciate the effort you put in keeping me happy.
Breaking down in front of your man can be difficult, especially when you want them to only see the positive side of you. However, allowing yourself to be vulnerable can help you connect with your loved one more deeply. This further helps in building trust and connection.
And where there is trust, there is bound to be a meaningful relationship.
Arguments are common when you are dating. Agreements and disagreements are always there to create a blunder within the couple. How do you tackle the situation after a heated verbal argument?
If both of you decide to stay angry at each other, it is definitely not getting you anywhere. Though difficult, apologizing and accepting when you are in the wrong can help create a deeper connection with a man. Apologize does not always have to be verbal, you can do the following things to express your feelings -
Create your partner's favorite dinner.
Buy him a flower.
Get a movie ticket for both of you.
Or simply just walk up to your man and hug him from behind.
This will definitely melt him, unless he has a heart of steel.
Through the hustle and bustle of life, one barely finds time to spend with their loved ones and be physically available. But distance is a true enemy and your body desires physical hugs, kisses, and sometimes just wants a shoulder to lean on.
If possible, you can move in together and share an apartment. But living together should not deprive you of space. You can balance that by -
Sharing the same bedroom
Having 2 separate room recreated as personal office
This can help you master the art of being together, yet having the comfort of solitude and being productive when required.
You may feel as though your voice will be unheard. But how are you ever going to find that without having a say in your wants and needs? This could all be in your head and maybe your man will open his heart to your personal feelings. He may also feel special that you trusted him enough to share your mind with him.
Dating and work life go hand in hand. In the cat chase of both, sometimes it becomes backbreaking to balance the two. How do you achieve that? It does not have to be difficult if your thoughts align. But how can you find out if your man is willing to cooperate? These are the things you won't find out unless you initiate a conversation and talk it out with him.
You can ask him to take a day off once a month and dedicate it wholly to each other. If you are thinking of what activities you can engage in during your time together, don't worry. We got your back. Movies and dates are old fashioned, why not try something more calming? It does not always have to be A LOT. Aim for the bare minimum. For example, little things like -
Talk about how you spent your days. If you have something or someone that is bothering you at your workplace, rant about it. Let it all out. Explode. Console. Emote. Be there.
Cook dinner together. A simple activity but it can help in strengthening your relationship. You will find that the kitchen is full of love.
Cuddle all day. After all, this is your day off so why not just allow yourselves to be sleepy and relax? Peace of mind is important to feel a connection with your partner.
Considering you met each other through a dating app like GleeMeet, there must still be a lot of rooms you still need to explore within one another. Do that. Learn it all. The more you know, the easier it gets to connect and bond. Knowing the likes and dislikes of your man can help you manage little things, for example, planning his birthday party, graduation party, and maybe, a pre-wedding party too.
After all, love is a strong force. But to build love, you need to put in effort. It does not have to be difficult, believe me. Men love the little effort you put into making them feel special, so do not feel burdened with the thought of “I am not enough.” Because believe me, you are more than enough.
