Where’s the Magic? Tips on How to Create a Magic Relationship

By Margie Ulbrick Leave a Comment

One of the greatest ways to keep a relationship fresh is to see your partner with new eyes every day. In fact, we are all changing constantly but so often relationships become stale as we take our partners for granted. But how good would it be to let go of expectations and wake up each day with a sense of gratitude for the person beside us and to connect then to them with that mindset?

Imagine for a moment what you could create in your relationship if you took responsibility for yourself, then moved towards your partner with a sense of curiosity asking where’s the magic today? How can we play today and how can I fully appreciate the person you are here with me right now?

There are a few mandatory attitudes you need before you can approach a relationship this way. You need to not expect your partner to make you happy. That’s up to you! It’s an incredibly demanding and unrealistic expectation to expect another person to fill you up or provide you with a reason for living or to give you constant approval. You need to honour and love yourself first before you can love another, so the old cliché goes.

Never try to change your partner or to fix them. Rather see everything they are as a gift to you. Listen deeply allowing them to express who they are without trying to take their problems away from them. Being a partner does not mean taking over their lives or rushing in to fix with solutions, rather it means staying open to the deepening connection between you and staying present to the moment at hand.
