Are our needs solely our responsibility, or should our partners step in to fulfil them? As relationships mature, should we be able to anticipate each other's needs, or is this expectation setting us up for disappointment? In this episode of Parenting and Marriage in the Digital Age, we dive into the six basic human needs—certainty, variety, significance, connection, growth, and contribution—and their impact on relationships. We explore whether it's realistic to rely on your partner to meet all your needs or if cultivating self-reliance is key to a healthier connection. We also discuss the long-term effects of unmet needs from childhood and how they shape adult relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• Identify Your Needs: Learn about the six core needs and identify which are most important to you.
• Balance Self and Partner Needs: Discover the importance of meeting your own needs while supporting your partner’s needs to maintain a balanced relationship.
• Impact of Unmet Needs: Understand how unmet needs can erode relationships and contribute to issues like infidelity and attachment problems.
• Regular Check-Ins: Incorporate regular check-ins and open communication, including love languages, to ensure both partners feel valued and supported.
• Healthy Ways to Meet Needs: Focus on constructive ways to meet your needs and those of your loved ones without compromising your own well-being.

Tune in to learn how understanding and meeting your needs can lead to stronger, more fulfilling relationships! 🎧
