Relationship Advice - Do You Still Know What Your Partner Is About?

Have you ever stopped to think whether or not you really understand what your partner is about: what their hopes and dreams are? That may seem like a very silly question, especially if you have been in a long-term relationship. However, it is in a long-term relationship many partners grow apart and forget who their partner really is and what they are about.

As we go through life trying to get through our work days, raising our family, and taking part in all of the other necessary tasks, it can be very easy to forget the needs of our partner, the one we say we are in love with.

In the end, we are all individual people who have our own needs, wants, dreams and goals. If you stay focused on doing "everything else" and then forget about who your partner really is, it's quite probable their needs are not being met. Maybe the same could be said for yourself as well. Just because we become parents, employees, and play so many other roles in life, it doesn't mean we are no longer individuals with our needs and wants.

Here are some steps to take to help you rediscover what your partner is currently about:

• ask him or her... it might seem simple, but ask your partner some questions so you can become more familiar with what he or she really wants to do in life. Ask about their goals and dreams. Ask how you can help them to achieve some of their aspirations. Not only does this give you crucial information as to what your partner is all about but, it also shows you care about them as an individual who still has dreams for their life.


• take a real look at your partner's hobbies. This will give you a few clues about who they really are also. For instance, was your husband once an avid golfer? Maybe he is so busy he doesn't get to play golf all that often now. That will give you an opportunity to purchase a new set of clubs... or a gift card to a local golf course.


• play games... there are many different games available in book form, or online, where you can find a list of questions to ask your partner. For instance, do you know what their biggest challenge has been in life? How about their biggest failure? There are so many different questions you can ask so you have more insight into who your partner really is at their deepest level. You can learn a lot from just a simple question-asking game like this.
