Valentine’s Day When You’re In a Relationship

Relationship Boosters Podcast Episode 18

Host: Dr. Kia James

Making Your Valentine’s Day Meaningful

For your information, many couples struggle around Valentine’s Day.  It can be a great, but stressful time for those in relationships. 

There are 364 other days that can make or break your relationship.  If you are waiting for Valentine’s Day and other holidays to express your love, your relationship may be in trouble.  To master your relationship, you must work on your relationship regularly. 

• Happy Couples know that their partner is thinking about them regularly. John Gottman recommends to do Little Things often.

Pump your partners gas.

Prepare a surprise lunch.

If your relationship is on auto-pilot, Valentine’s day can be a gift to your relationship

• Use this day to reconnect and recommit to your relationship.

Valentine’s Day is the gift giving holiday.  Gifts can be a nice gesture, but being creating and thoughtful does not have to come from an expensive gift.

• Get an authentic and personal gift to show your partner that you are thinking about them.
• Be creative and unique

Avoid Valentine’s Day pitfalls

• Don’t fall into the trap of comparing your relationship to the relationship of someone else. That is not your relationship, and you do not know all the details.

What you see on social media does not tell the whole story of a relationship. Remember, people generally post the good times, and keep the bad times private.

• If your gift is not expensive, it does not mean that your partner loves you less.
• Let go of expectations, they can lead to disappointment.
• Have conversations about the importance or lack of importance in gift giving. If you or your partner does not believe in gift giving, this information should be known before a gift giving holiday.

If you are experiencing an emotional disconnect in your relationship, it is time to work on your relationship connection.  Today is a great day to begin your relationship. Start by learning about your partner to assist with your reconnection.

Relationship Boosters Podcast Episode 16

Interview with Author LR JACKSON:

Relationship Advice for Entrepreneurs and Their Lovers

As discussed last week on the podcast, there is evidence to support that entrepreneurs are not the best relationship partners. There are many entrepreneurs who are successful in their relationship or marriage; therefore, it is more than possible for an entrepreneur or executive to have relationships success.

Today’s interview will be with LR Jackson. She is an entrepreneur in the process of writing and publishing books. In addition, she works as a vice president for a company. LR Jackson shares how she makes her relationship work despite her employment.

How One Entrepreneur Has Made Her Love Story a Success.

• Both LR Jackson and her partner are secure in their relationship.
• Her partner is encouraging and supportive. He pushes LR Jackson to follow her dreams.
• She feels good about her relationship. This allows her to focus when she is at work. If she was stressed about her partner, it would distract her and prevent her from doing her best work.
• She allows her partner to be involved in some of her decision-making processes. He makes suggestions and recommendations when she requests feedback.
  • This shows her partner that his opinion is valuable and important.
• LR Jackson knows her partner is understanding when it comes to her work. He recognizes that her work can be time consuming. In addition, he realizes that she must travel and be apart from the family for her business to continue to grow.
• LR Jackson shares that frequent communication while apart helps them to stay connected. Staying in touch with each other allows them to share pictures, words, and experiences.

Best Relationship Advice: LR Jackson shared the best relationship advice she’s received has been to choose her battles wisely. There is no need to bring up every negative thing or action. You do not want to nitpick about everything. Instead, build your partner up. Acknowledge even the small things that your partner does.

She has found a great way to make deposits in her partner’s emotional bank account. She verbally expresses her appreciation for her partner. This type of communication goes a long way.

Being busy does not make it okay to neglect your partner. When you build a secure healthy relationship, your partner is better able to support you in your endeavors.
