Wired for Love

Stan Tatkin

The foundation of your feeling of safety goes back to your early years, affecting your attachment style in adulthood. In order to preserve a strong bond with your partner over time, it is essential to comfort each other's deep-seated insecurities and handle each other's negative feelings, especially during disagreements. Above all, it is crucial for both partners to show a readiness to support each other unconditionally. Make an effort to bring a smile to your partner's face. Take the opportunity to guess what might make your partner happy as a little experiment. Then try it out and see if you were correct. For instance, you could give your partner a spontaneous back massage. This will not only enhance the connection between you two but also provide insights into your partner and your relationship.
