Treat Your Partner as Inherently Valuable, Not A Means to an End

Treat Your Partner as Inherently Valuable, Not A Means to an End

Your partner may help you in many ways. They may encourage you to do your best. They may help you in practical ways, too, like supporting you while you advance in your education or your career.

No matter what they do for you though, don't lose sight of their value in just being who they are. Certainly, you need to let them know you appreciate what they do for you. Go beyond that.

Let them know that even when they aren't doing anything for you, you admire them in their own right.
