How to Get to Know Your Partner Better
Did
you know that working together on your EQ together with your partner can help you get to know each other
better?
It’s
just that when you work to raise emotional intelligence together, you don’t
only boost positive mood but you also promote a happier, healthier environment
in the relationship.
Knowing
yourself and your partner well might as well be one of the secrets of happy
relationships.
Read
on to learn some emotional intelligence tips and questions that will help you
get to know your partner better!
Spend some quality time together
When
was the last time the two of you had an evening of your own – without being
interrupted by your smartphones?
There
are so many things you could be doing to connect with each other. All the way from choosing a mutual hobby to just taking
the time to sit down and talk in the evenings, it’s the little things that
count!
Ask questions…
…
and listen carefully to their answers!
You’d
be surprised by just how many people have spent years with their partners and
yet can’t tell you what’s their favorite movie or favorite food.
Optionally,
you can make this as a game, where each one of you takes alternate turns to answer. Remember, the whole point here is
to get to know each other better, so practice being a good listener throughout
the whole game.
Get to know their friends
There’s
a saying that a person is the average of the five people they spend the most
time with. That means, if you want to see
what your partner really is like,
then hang out with his/her friends.
Don’t
forget – it’s okay if you don’t like everything about their friends, just be
respectful towards everyone the whole time.
Explore together
You
don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to get to know someone
well. Even day trips to a nearby town are enough.
Apart
from doing something fun together, people are usually willing to open up on
trips more – and that’s where the real bond happens!
