KEY POINTS

Mindset 1:  I Have to Make My Partner Happy

Believing you’re responsible for your partner’s happiness creates pressure that leads to stress and resentment. While your partner should take responsibility for their own happiness, you can do things that compliment that by understanding what they need from you.

Mindset 2: My Partner Should Boost My Self-Esteem

Expecting your partner to satisfy your insecurities can create dependency and disappointment. It’s important to be happy with yourself before committing to another person.

Mindset 3: We Should Always Feel In Love

The butterfly feelings tend to fade over time, even in strong relationships. Lasting love is about commitment and caring for your partner’s well-being.
