You love the person you’re in a relationship with. You love to be with them, you miss them when they’re gone, and you’d do anything for them to make them happy. And of course, when you’re in a committed relationship like this, it’s only natural to want to give your all to your significant other, and show just how much you love them by being intentional in your actions within the relationship.
So, if you’re wondering about what the coming year could hold for your relationship including the occasional ups and downs along the way, let’s go through some of the most common ways you could take things to the next level with your partner.
More Time Together?
More time together for many would be beautiful, wouldn’t it? Imagine schedules that worked well together, being able to have enjoyable breakfast meals together in the mornings, and even see each other after work. Many would definitely enjoy their relationships a lot more. Wouldn’t you agree?
Well, maybe that’s something to focus on for this year!
Of course, don’t push your partner for more time if they really can’t spare it. But make sure you talk, and try to come up with a plan that allows you both to have some additional quality time to spend with each other, at least once or twice a week.
A House and Some Savings?
If you’re not already living together, and you’re taking things slow, this year could be the year you take the plunge and get a place. You could put your money together and buy a home together, or simply move into one another’s apartment or house and save that additional money towards your future together home.
Either way, it could be time to think about your financial future. When money is involved, there’s a big commitment to make, and this could be your chance to find out if you’re ready for that step or not.
Maybe a Baby?
A baby is one of the biggest steps you can take in your relationship. You have to know you’re in the right place to have one, physically, mentally, and financially. Children are a big commitment, and bringing a child into a family that isn’t quite ready for them just isn’t a responsible thing to do.
It’s why open and trusting communication between you and your partner is essential. Make sure you talk about your plans for a family, and that you’re both on the same page with what you want and when you want it.
If you have each other, you’ll be able to get through all the challenges of a time like this, such as the long time conception can take, or even needing to reach out to an Advanced Fertility Center at some point in the future which sometimes happens.
Final Thoughts
Regardless of the changes that you are considering making within the relationship, be sure to communicate with your partner about it. Decide together how to be more intentional in the relationship to take things to the next level.
