DATING
The Importance Of Setting Intentions In A Relationship
By A. R. HOPKINS
Setting your intentions for a relationship should start before you ever even enter one, and once you've identified what you're looking for in a relationship, be sure to keep it in mind during your early dating interactions. Visualize yourself experiencing a relationship that aligns with your intentions frequently.
Once you find a partner, take the time to explore all aspects of your relationship and come together to set mutual intentions for what that relationship will look and feel like. However, before you do this, it can help to do a deep dive into learning about each other, which allows for empathy rather than frustration in challenging moments.
The most important part of keeping your intentional relationship healthy is setting and revising your intentions together. As long as you both agree on how you want your relationship to look, feel, and function, it doesn't matter how many times your intentions change.
