Making Your Partner A Priority

Have you ever felt that you are not a priority in your partner’s life, you’re receiving their leftovers, or they are not spending enough time with you? You have to make your partner feel good and make time to connect with them. It is one thing to tell them they are your priority and a whole different ball game to ensure this is reflected. 

More often, people let their hobbies, work, family, friends or even kids hinder them from connecting with their partners. Your hobbies can be a great thing, your friends, kids, your work can be awesome, but all those things can kill a relationship if they are not in their rightful place.

From understanding what it entails to make your partner a priority, things that can take away priority in your relationship and practical approaches to change this dynamic. If you’re looking for ways to improve your relationship and make your partner a priority, this episode is for you!
