THE V-DAY PLAN FOR NON-BINARIES

Spread the love

Valentine’s day is the day of love, celebrated across the globe! However, I couldn’t help but notice how the sublime message of couples being only ‘male and female’ is being propagated everywhere. Whether it is a social media post, print advertisement, TV commercial, or a simple WhatsApp forward – somehow we have made valentine’s day a synonym to the day that is only for cisgender couples! 

Honestly, it is disturbing to see how a huge community has been cut off and alienated. If this is the day of love, why is love being limited to these two genders?

This day can be a little tricky for non-binary couples. After all, where would they find inclusivity in celebration from? 

So we decided to come up with inclusive gifting options (both tangible and intangible) that can make this V-Day an equal celebration for all of us! 

Here are 5 ideas on how to celebrate your Valentine’s day

  1. Beauty and spa: If you both are into beauty and spa then this is for you. Take an appointment and indulge in a ravishing massage, beauty procedures, and relaxing spa on this Valentine. This will not only help you spend the time with your loved one but also let you indulge in some self-love. 
  1. A house plate: If you have recently moved in with your partner a house plate that celebrates love could be a good idea. Phrases like – “LoveWins” or “NothingButLove” are not just cute but thought-provoking. 
  1. Coming out: When you are in love, you wish to tell this to the whole world! What can be crazier than coming out in public with your partner on this day? This is brave, without a doubt but if you do it – it is a win-win for sure. 
  1. Movie date: Movie dates are fun! Whether you decide to go out and watch a movie or stay in and binge on Netflix – the choice is yours. But, the experience of watching a movie with your partner is beautiful beyond measures. Do that if you have nothing else planned. 
  1. The Pride keepsake: Whether it is a cute mug, pillow, hate, or anything else, something with Pride colors on it could be an amazing gift! Go ahead and search the shops online – we are sure you will find something of that sort! If not, customize one.

When you’re in a relationship, it can often be easy to just go with the flow and follow what the other person is doing. However, if you want to have healthy and happy relationships, it’s important to work on your own communication skills as well.

Whether it’s checking in with your partner to make sure everything is going smoothly or negotiating how you’re going to spend your time together, having good communication skills is crucial for keeping your relationship happy and healthy. But what if you find that you and your partner just can’t seem to connect?

When we’re in a relationship, we want to communicate with our partner–and it’s important that we’re doing it correctly. You might think you know what works for your partner, but don’t assume–discussing the topic together and understanding how they feel is the best way to get things right.

Communication is a skill that is often ignored until it begins to diminish in a relationship. Communication is a key component for a healthy, long-lasting relationship. Here are seven tips for having better communication in your relationship!

Communication the key to a successful relationship

Communication is the key to a good relationship. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a marriage, engaged, or just dating someone else for the first time – communication is the lifeblood of your connection. Communication doesn’t always have to be verbal, either.

The importance of communication skills in a relationship

Communication is essential in any relationship, but it becomes most important when things are not going well. Communication skills can help you work through most issues that come up in your relationship. They can be developed by taking classes or reading books with exercises geared towards improving communication skills.

Communication in relationships is the only way that people can truly get through to one another, and make sure they’re on the same page. The communication process begins with listening. This means really paying attention to what your partner is saying and making them feel heard. It also means clarifying any misunderstandings so you both know exactly what the other person is trying to say.

It’s important to tell yourself what you want and expect in your relationship. If you are having trouble with this, make a list of the things you’d like to see in your relationship and keep it handy. You can refer to it when things start to feel stressful.

If a problem arises, try to talk about it without assigning blame or getting angry. Don’t make your partner wrong for something that happened in the past if you are not willing to forgive him or her and try to move on.

It’s important to communicate with your partner about your feelings without attacking them or accusing them of things that aren’t true. Screaming, name-calling, and blaming won’t solve anything. Even if you feel it all out of frustration, it will only make things worse.

Your relationship is a two-way street so if you want your partner to respect you, give them the respect they deserve. Try to focus on your love for them and the things you enjoy about them, instead of the negative things that might come up.

Tips on communicating better with your partner

You should talk with your partner about anything and everything! Talking about the small stuff helps to avoid tension and arguments over more serious topics.

Sharing pictures of what you do during the day or spending some time together while cooking dinner can help break down barriers and get you closer than you ever imagined.

Communication in relationships can be improved by using “I” statements, avoiding criticism, and listening.

How couples can use improve their communication by following these tips:

The first step is for both partners to create a list of the ways that they would like to enhance their communication.

Next, they should have a weekly or bi-weekly date night where they take turns going over the list with each other and working on the ideas together.

Other tips include setting realistic expectations, being an active listener, and avoiding passive-aggressive behavior by being more direct.

Finally, couples should keep the goal of open communication in mind and remember to have fun with it.

How to disagree with your partner without creating a fight

Some people find it easy to disagree with their partners without creating a fight. They listen to their partner’s point of view and try to understand the different perspectives they have.

This is one of the most important skills in relationships because it can prevent or resolve conflicts before they get out of hand.

Sometimes, a third person like a relationship counselor can help try to understand each other’s point of view.

What you should never discuss with your partner

There are certain topics that you should never discuss with your partner. Anything financial should be discussed before you date, and if the conversation is not satisfactory, it’s best to move on.

Additionally, you should never talk about your exes or other people’s partners, as this will only lead to bitterness and resentment.

I hope these tips will help you to communicate more effectively in relationships. It’s not always easy, but it can be done!
