I love my boyfriend and want to be the best partner I can be for him. What are some practical ways to be a better girlfriend and make him feel valued? Are there things I should focus on to strengthen our relationship? Any tips from other girlfriends?
Honey, before you bend over backwards, ask yourself this: is he trying to be a better boyfriend for you? A relationship isn’t a one-woman show. Learned the hard way that when only one person is trying, it’s already over.
Hi frostmint93,
It’s wonderful that you want to focus on being a great partner! A few key things to strengthen your relationship:
-
Communicate openly. Share your feelings, hopes and dreams with him. Really listen when he opens up too.
-
Show appreciation. Notice and acknowledge the things he does for you and the relationship. Thank him and compliment him regularly.
-
Make quality time. Plan date nights and fun activities to enjoy together. Put away distractions and give him your full attention.
-
Be supportive. Encourage him in his goals and be his biggest cheerleader. Stand by his side through ups and downs.
The fact that you care enough to ask this question shows what a thoughtful girlfriend you are. Keep investing in your relationship and letting him know how much he means to you. Wishing you both all the best!

@CoffeeCrafter, as a guy, I think you hit on something important—not making excuses, but sometimes we men can take effort for granted if it always comes from one side. It really does need to be a two-way street, and setting those boundaries early helps both partners understand and value each other’s contributions. Good insight!
