很有可能那些你欣赏的恋情时刻并不是美好的浪漫。感情和家庭治疗师珍妮弗·弗雷德博士说道,恋情中最细微的时刻往往是最有意义的时刻。为了寻求更多的看法,我们对7位满足于长期恋情的女士进行了采访。下列这些另一半做的事情最让她们感到开心。
LEAVE HER NOTES
给她留纸条
“My husband and I have been married for more than five years anddated for six years before that. You would think that our relationship wouldget boring by now, but he reminds me he loves me by writing love notes andputting them in my lunch bag each day. I usually make my lunch before going tobed and somehow he always sneaks it in.” —Denise W., 38
“我丈夫和我已经结婚5年多了,婚前我们约会了6年。可能你会觉得我们的关系应该已处于无聊阶段,但事实上他每天都会给我写爱的小纸条,然后将纸条贴在我的午餐袋上,来向我表达爱意。每晚上床前我都会把第二天的午餐备好,但他总能找机会在午餐袋上贴好纸条。”——Denise W,38岁
MAKE HER LAUGH
让她笑
“I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years, and I still get a goodlaugh from the videos he sends me of himself via Snapchat. And it’s not evenlike he’s trying to make me laugh. I just love him so much that I crack up outof adoration.”
“我和男朋友在一起两年了,但他通过阅后即焚软件发给我的视频仍会让我大笑不止。甚至他还没有放大招。我太爱他了,我是因为爱他才笑得那么开心。”
LISTEN TO HER
聆听
“When something is bothering me, my boyfriend never fails to give mehis full attention. He puts his cellphone down and actively listens to mespeak. That shows me how much he cares about me.”
“当我有烦心事时,我男朋友总是全神贯注的听我说话。他会把手机放在一边,然后认真聆听。这让我知道他对我的关心。”
GIVE HER PERSONAL SPACE
给她私人空间
“My boyfriend and I just started living together after a year ofdating. It’s hard to go from living alone to living with another person,especially since our new apartment is tiny. When I just need some space, Inever have to ask for it. He always senses it and goes out for a walk. I knowthat living together will just keep getting easier.”
“约会一年后,男朋友和我决定同居。从一个人生活到和他人同居是一件很困难的事情,尤其当你们的新公寓还是很小的时候。当我需要一些空间时,我从未要求,但他总能感觉到,然后会出门散步给我空间。我知道同居会越来越顺利的。”
LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT DOWN
放下马桶盖
“My boyfriend lives with three guys and reminds them to keep thetoilet seat down when I’m over. It makes me laugh because I never asked him todo that, but he just goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.”
“我男朋友和3个男生住在一起,每当我过去的时候,他都会提醒其他男生把马桶盖放下。知道这点我十分开心,因为我从未要求他这样做,但他这种处处为我考虑的行为让我十分舒心。”
