Love Improve Your Relationship

Are you feeling you need to improve your relationship? You may think this will require you to do more for your partner.  Many of us, especially women, put others’ needs before our own. We constantly feel like we’re trying to hard and the other person isn’t truly appreciating us. We eventually resent those who have been on the receiving end of our love and attention. Putting yourself first can make all the difference. And, no, it’s not selfish. In fact, you can’t really meet other people’s needs without first meeting your own, creating balance for yourself. Loving yourself is the most important foundation for having a loving and satisfying relationship with another.

If we, women, constantly ignore our basic needs, we drain ourselves of energy, only making the situation worse. We realize that our own needs are not being met, and we become resentful, withdrawing the help and support we so freely offered to others before. But if we put ourselves first from the get-go, we’ll actually end up with more energy to share.
