show moreWhat you can do to focus on your significant other and improve your relationship? This is super important. If you are not putting a great deal of focus into your relationship, everything else is going to suffer too.
Know of anyone in a bad relationship, that is able to focus on their job and excel? There are not many people that can do that. It’s impossible to focus and be productive in your work when you went to bed angry at your significant other.
"Let not the sun go down on your wrath." Ephesians 4:26
When you fall asleep angry, your sub-conscious is going to dwell on the issue that has made you angry. When you wake up, you're not going to be in a place of wanting to reconcile. In fact, your heart is going to harden. It's going to be that much more difficult to come to a resolution.
Rate your current relationship with your significant other on our usual scale. How happy are you with your rating? If you are feeling discomfort, then that means you have some work to do. List out the items that make you unhappy with your partner. Then list out what you believe your partner would put in their list.
These are the items you need to focus on. For instance, in your list, if you wrote down that your partner spends four to five hours a night watching television, while you believe that their time could be spent doing more edifying things, then something has to change.
Work with your partner to cut down on viewing time. Suggest something that you can both engage in and enjoy spending time together.
In the list of things your partner might not like in you, you wrote that you have your cellphone in your hand constantly. Visit the reason why you are always checking your phone. Is it serious business or randomly checking to see who is upset with who on Flakebook? Put your cell phone on vibrate, put it in the other room, and then focus on your partner and engage in meaningful conversation and quality time together.
Perhaps your "significant other" is a child. It's not necessarily a spouse or even an adult for that matter. Focus on how your time with that most important relationship can be the best relationship possible. Focus on yourself first, how you can make the best possible relationship, then gently suggest ways your partner can better engage with you in your relationship.
