Content: We like it even more when our partner acts upon our requests. Acting upon our partner’s wishes is the best way to let them know that we are listening and caring about what they say. We Benefit from Being Generous Too
Kindness and generosity are linked to happiness. In fact, research from the University of Zurich suggests that those who are habitually generous may have long-term well-being and happiness. Those who are generous may also show physical health benefits. A 2013 study published in the American Journal of Public Health suggests that kind and generous people live longer, are protected from the negative impacts of stress, are more optimistic and have lower blood pressure. Kind and generous individuals are also more successful romantically. What Both Sides Need in Any Relationship
Of course, kindness and generosity aren’t just good for romantic relationships. Any strong relationship requires both ends knowing that they are valued, noticed, appreciated, respected, loved and desired. If you aren’t fulfilled in any of these areas in any of your relationships, maybe you need to evaluate how your partner makes you feel and decide if they are a true friend.
