Making the time to celebrate their accomplishments gives them reassurance that you are paying attention. You know what they like. You know how they like to celebrate. You know them and you appreciate them.
These are all reasons to celebrate your partner’s accomplishments. How would you feel if they remembered that you’ve always wanted to have your face on I-95, so they put up a billboard? Or that you don’t like to be celebrated publicly so they made sure that your celebration was just the two of you? My guess is that you would be feeling heard and loved and supported. Do the same for them.

Your wife got that big promotion or your husband went back to school. You have been working on celebrating the smaller things with a special dinner or a big hug. How do you celebrate their life-changing wins?
Whatever you decide to do to celebrate, just make sure it’s something they will love. Think back to conversations you’ve had or comments that they made when scrolling the internet or watching tv. Open your ears and listen. Make notes (mental or in writing) and keep track of different ways they like to celebrate. It’s important to remember what they don’t like, too.

When celebrating someone else’s achievements, it’s important to remember to celebrate in a way that makes them happy. Do the things they like to do. Go to their favorite places. Celebrate with the people they would want to celebrate with. And only buy gifts they would actually use. A celebration of someone’s accomplishments should be all about them.
How do you celebrate your partner’s victories?

You have so much going on in your life and it feels extremely good to celebrate your wins. Okay, sometimes those wins are just that you remembered to put pants on today or you brushed your teeth, but they are still wins. How do you celebrate? Maybe by binging Netflix or having a glass of wine with lunch. (Don’t judge.) What was the last thing you celebrated?
Look at the people around you. They have wins, too. Imagine how great they would feel if you celebrated their wins. Just telling them that you’re proud of them or that they did a great job could make all the difference.

Many people ask themselves how to celebrate their relationship. Think back to the beginning of your relationship and remember the way you acted towards your partner. What did you do differently? Why did it stop?
If you value your relationship, you will make it a point to prioritize your relationship, your spouse, and your couple time. If you want them to help with your responsibilities, you need to make them a priority, too.
Somewhere along the way we got the idea that because you are married or you have been together for so long, it’s okay to put your relationship on the back burner. But remember, a pot of water will steam better if the flame is turned up a little higher!

With the pandemic taking over the world, it’s easy to overlook the good things going on in our lives. We have been so busy trying to stay safe, keep other people safe, and survive this new lifestyle that we forget it’s okay to be happy and celebrate our wins.
If you aren’t even celebrating your own wins, when was the last time you celebrated your spouse, partner, or significant other? It doesn’t have to be a big win. Celebrate the little things. This makes them realize you are making them a priority and you are proud of their accomplishments, too.
