7 Emotional Needs To Consider In A Relationship

In a relationship, the strength of your bond can make a big difference in whether you both get your needs met. Here are seven emotional needs that you require in a relationship.

Affection

Affection helps you bond and increase closeness. Not everyone shows affection in the same ways, but partners generally get used to each other’s unique approaches toward fulfilling this need.

Acceptance

Acceptance means you feel as if you fit in with their loved ones and belong in their life. Knowing your partner accepts you as you are can help create a sense of belonging in the relationship. Feeling like you don’t belong can make it difficult for you to see yourself in the relationship long term.

Autonomy

In reality, maintaining individual interests can fuel curiosity about each other, which can strengthen your relationship and keep it fun. If you’re losing sight of yourself before the relationship, set aside some time to reconnect with friends or restart an old hobby.

Security

A healthy relationship should feel secure, but security can mean many things. Setting clear boundaries can help boost your sense of security.

Physical abuse is often easy to recognise, but emotional abuse can make you feel unsafe, too, even if you can’t put your finger on why.

Trust

Trust and security often go hand in hand. It’s hard to feel physically or emotionally safe with someone you can’t trust. When you trust someone, you know they’re looking out for you as well as themselves. Broken trust can sometimes be repaired, but this requires effort from both partners and sometimes, support from a therapist.

Empathy

Having empathy means you can imagine how someone else feels. This ability is essential to romantic relationships since it helps people understand each other and build deeper bonds.

Connection

Without connection, you can feel lonely even when you spend most of your time together. It might seem as if you’re just two people who happen to share a living space or spend time together sometimes. Chances are good that’s not how you want your relationship to proceed.
