Support in relationships is a powerful element between couples. If your partner supports you in anything that you attempt to do, you almost feel that you can conquer the world. You have the attitude, "It's you and me baby all the way"! However, this is an element that a lot of couples miss when building their relationship; and it cripples them.
Learning to be excited about the things that occur in the life of the person that you are in relationship with is an aspect of giving. This means that you have decided to set your agenda aside to pay attention and to focus on how they need you. It is a unslefish act that shows how much you care. You can always tell when a person does not receive the support and the attention that they need; because the compliments and the support of others are captivating to them. They get overly excited. For example, I have seen men and women make an effort to lose weight, and when their mate does not recognize or note their improvement, and someone else decides to say something about it, they become attracted to that person. This is a sign that the offended party is starving for attention.
Of course not getting the support that one needs, is not a license to seek out the support and appreciation of other people... The emotion that is felt based on the words of other people only last for a moment. There will always be someone who will find you attractive, or who will show you the support that you desire. Predators seek out people who need attention. Don't become overly excited about flattery. However, give your partner the benefit of the doubt, and make the attempt to resolve the issue! Talk about it.
I often flirt with my husband. I tell him that he's cute, and I often tell him that I am proud of him, and that I appreciate him; and he does the same with me. I want him to know that I support him before he faces the world! In other words, if he receives a compliment, or support from another person...he's heard it before. My father in law use to say, "Polish your own apple". Translation--support in your relationships is polishing the apple that you are blessed with.
It should be noted that in some relationships, people are facing so many issues and some things may go unnoticed. My simple advice to you today, is that you would not allow your experiences to keep you so distracted that you forget to appreciate and support the one that you love!
