Acts of Kindness in Relationships

In this week’s episode, Tony and Jill discussed whether you should avoid debates or full-blown arguments on your partner’s birthday, or any other special occasions.

Tony told listeners that if their partner feels compelled to be nicer to them on a birthday or holiday, then they should consider how their partner treats them overall.

Meanwhile, Jill advised listeners to accept that their partner may not be thankful for the extra nice treatment.

Both Jill and Tony have advice:

• If you are into birthdays and your partner isn’t, consider what would make them feel appreciated that date
• Don’t be afraid to tell your partner what makes you happy
• Respect and love each other daily

What do you do for your partner on birthdays and other special occasions? Leave your responses in the comments section.
