How Can I Make My Partner Feel Loved Every Day?
Saying something romantic to your partner each and every day may feel like overkill, but science really does prove the benefits of doing so.
A 2020 study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences found that those who enjoyed daily experiences of love tended to be more optimistic, had higher levels of psychological well-being, and felt more significant feelings of purpose.
If you're looking for a more concrete definition of "experiences of love," then you should go a little further back in the research. A 2016 study published in PloS One established that most folks link the concept to everyday acts of kindness, compliments, and expressions of appreciation.
While it's ideal for these exchanges to take place in person, it's fine to give yourself a break once in a while. When life gets hectic, technology is always there to help bridge the gap between you and your beau. A romantic text may not pack the same punch as those in-person proclamations of love, but it can keep you connected until you're back home and in each other's arms.
