Why partnerships are special
A partnership is more than a relationship – it is often the closest emotional connection in life.
It offers security, closeness, and support, but can also become the greatest source of stress when communication and balance are lacking.
Partnership as a resource
- Emotional security: the feeling of being accepted.
- Stability: a shared foundation for everyday life and the future.
- Support: being there for each other during stressful times.
- Growth: partnerships foster development through feedback and shared experiences.
Typical challenges
- Communication: misunderstandings and unspoken expectations.
- Everyday life & stress: obligations take up space for closeness.
- Different needs: closeness vs. freedom, order vs. flexibility.
- Crises: financial, professional, or family burdens.
Tips for healthy partnerships
- Have regular open conversations.
- Create shared rituals (e.g., shared meals, walks, weekends).
- Clearly express your own needs – instead of suppressing them.
- Show gratitude: small gestures strengthen trust and closeness.
