7 Things Your Partner Wishes You Knew

In the daily life of to-do lists, routines, busyness, logistics, and whatever current communication patterns you have, it’s probably easy to spend a lot of moments with your partner talking about and reacting to what’s on the surface.

If you’ve spent any time around us, you will know that we are enthusiastic advocates for recognizing that there is so much underneath what we all say and do…

…and when we can open and soften our hearts and tap back into what’s really there >> that’s where the gold is.

That’s where connection, understanding, teamwork, and love is.

That’s why, today, we’re inspired to suggest to you 7 things your partner is likely thinking but not necessarily expressing.

We’ve been honored to support thousands of couples over the past 15 years, and we are in awe of the universalities of this human experience.

Even if all of the below don’t ring true, we’re very hopeful at least a few will.

7 Things Your Partner Wishes You Knew

1. “I appreciate you so many more moments than I actually say I do. I’m sorry I don’t always tell you.”

2. “It’s so much easier to support you when I know it matters to you and that you appreciate me.”

3. “Sometimes I seem frustrated with you when I’m actually just frustrated with myself.”

4. “I wish I didn’t take my stress out on you as much as I do. I want our time together to be wonderful.”

5. “Sometimes I feel like a scared little kid in an adult body and just want to be loved and know that everything is going to be okay.”

6. “I want to share my deepest heart and know it is safe with you — and for you to share yours and feel the same.”

7. “I love you more than you can possibly imagine.”

Did these resonate? Are there any that went especially to your heart?

If so, we encourage you to share them to your partner so they know it’s what you really wish they knew too. 

Sending you so much love and an abundance of blessings as you reconnect to the heart of who you really are — and can be — together.
