As a couple, you’re continually discussing what’s for dinner and plans with friends or family. You discuss all the day-to-day life stuff with each other and even about the silliest things that might not interest either of you. If you have kids, that’s another topic you will have to talk about!! However, what couples seem to overlook is that these topics are not the only thing they should be talking about. Your feelings and emotional state must be discussed. The reason you are together is that you love and care about each other and once acknowledged each other’s feelings in good and bad times.
Here are some important advantages to sharing everything with your partner: –
- Maintains positive fights only – When couples have an argument or a fight about some minor issue it sometimes escalated into an ugly hurting fight. It happens because you keep your feelings bottled up inside you, and they are released with the anger during a fight. If you share everything beforehand, your feelings won’t make the fight difficult and you can mend up easily without hurting each other deeply.
- Keeps no grudge inside you – When you open up about everything to your partner, you also make it a habit and maintain it to express all things that you like or bother you. Sometimes you try to ignore the things that bother you about the person to avoid a fight, but it only gets worse with time. If you share everything as it happens, you hold no hard feelings or resentment.
- Improves understanding and empathy – When you talk about your feelings you express what exactly makes you happy or sad. You understand each other well. You connect with each and develop a conscience where you no longer require to talk to communicate at times. Both the partners understand how every situation makes you both feels. This induces empathy and provides support to you in your hard times.
- Inner connection – Since you, both feel empathy and connect with each other, you develop a strong emotional bond between you. You just know the right thing to do to make each other happy.
- Sharing daily chores – Most of the fights occur because the males avoid doing any household chores and force everything onto the ladies. Understanding each other well makes you realize that it is important to help each other in all the work and avoid any unnecessary distress.
These are the positives of sharing everything with your partner. Start today itself. Don’t always be the one to talk or share, keep a habit of listening too. Talk about your feelings only when you are sober, else it will be difficult to take you seriously.
