Top 10 Ways to Make Your Lover Feel Special
A lot of singles and married couples are often caught up in the hustles and bustles of life and become distracted. Here is a reminder list of what you should regularly to each other and how to go about it.
1. Pray for them
Pray for your partner. Let your prayers be genuine. This can help you harness God’s help to support your relationship and make your lover feel special. Genuine prayers for each other can go a long way in keeping you together and minimizing quarrels. “Pray for each other so that you may be healed.” (James 5:16, GNT)
2. Call each other daily.
Call your partner daily. Whether you will see each other later or not, regular communication is the lifeblood of any relationship or marriage that will survive. Keep in touch through calls, texts, and messaging. These daily check-ins can help you stay updated on each other’s lives and address any issues or concerns promptly. “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” (Colossians 4:6, NIV)
3. Exchange gifts regularly.
Exchanging gifts regularly will make your lover feel special. The gifts don’t have to be expensive, but they should be meaningful. Remember, it’s about exchanging gifts, not just collecting them. These little gestures help keep the flame of your relationship or marriage alive. Thoughtful gifts can make your partner feel appreciated and loved.
4. Share with him or her what God is dealing with you in His word.
Share with your partner what God is teaching you. Whatever insights you gain from your devotions or personal walk with God, share them with your partner, as they can also be a blessing to them. “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:16, NIV)
5. Encourage one another.
Encouraging one another make your lover feel special. Be each other’s biggest supporters. Avoid discouraging or criticizing. Your input carries a lot of weight since you are the closest person to your partner. Positive encouragement can boost your partner’s confidence and help them overcome challenges. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, NIV)
6. Forgive each other so that your heavenly father will forgive you also.
Forgive each other. Recognize that neither of you is perfect, so lovingly overlook and forget any mistakes. Holding on to resentment can erode the foundation of your relationship, so practice forgiveness regularly. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32, NIV)
7. Let corrections be done in love.
It takes more positive statements to balance out one critical remark. This will make your lover feel special. Approach corrections with love and understanding. Delivering feedback in a constructive manner can help your partner receive it better and make positive changes. “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15, NIV)
8. Help each other obey God’s instructions.
As the closest influence, encourage your partner to resist temptation and stay on the path of truth. “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16, NIV)
9. Don’t feed each other’s weaknesses.
Complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses can make your loved one feel special. Build trust and protect it by being a positive influence. Recognize that you both have room for improvement, and work together to help each other become better versions of yourselves. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17, NIV)
10. Be accountable together.
Make sure you have a mentor you talk to from time to time. My wife and I do this for a lot of couples. Sometimes, the very intense issues and disagreements are dissolved with a few statements. Well, that is the grace of God upon our lives and upon this ministry; to provide positive intervention in crisis-laden marriages and to provide godly counsels for those in courtship.
Accountability to those who have done what you are trying to do is a lot of wisdom. Stay close with these devotionals that have been a succor to a lot or marriages and relationships across the world, discuss it from time to time and keep on making adjustments! So help us God!
