AFFIRMATIONS GUIDE — PART 6 of 8
Relationship Affirmations
Affirmations for healthier relationships
In Part 5 of my affirmations series, I discussed how to use soul affirmations to improve your spirituality. In this part, I will discuss affirmations for improving your relationships.
Maintaining relationships can be hard, but by changing how we view them, they can become a bit easier. We can’t just expect every relationship to go smoothly all the time. Good relationships require hard work from both individuals. Sometimes we have to change our perspective about someone and put ourselves in their shoes to truly understand them and improve the relationship.
We also must take responsibility for the part we play in a relationship. Every relationship is a two-way street. The issues are almost never solely one person’s fault; even if it may seem that way at times.
We often contribute more negativity in a relationship than we realize, which is why it’s so important to reflect on ourselves. Use introspection and honesty to find ways that we can change ourselves to help the relationship.
The below affirmations are about my wife, but they could be about anyone you want. And I encourage you to write your own affirmations about the important relationships in your life.
I like to use them as reminders to appreciate my wife and not take her for granted. They also help me be patient with her when she is going through hard times. After reciting them, it’s much easier for me to express my love for her.
- I love my wife and am grateful for her
- I am patient with her
- She’s where she’s supposed to be in life right now
- Have faith that she will get where she wants to be. Once she gets some momentum, she will feel better and feel motivated to keep going and that will snowball to where we want her to be
- Stop trying to control her
- Remember that this is the hardest part. Focus on yourself and be loving and supportive
- Me getting upset with her about something is often worse than the thing she did
- She contributes more than you realize
- I have faith that my wife will thrive in life
- Shower the people you love with love
I especially love the last one about showering the people you love with love, which was inspired by James Taylor’s beautiful song “Shower the People.” We have a limited time on this Earth. When you leave life, you will want to feel that you spent your life expressing love to your loved ones to the fullest extent.
Don’t expect anything in return. Just enjoy the experience of giving love. You can do it for yourself just as much as you do it for them.
