Worksheet #11: Understanding Your Relationship Needs.
Gain clarity on your needs and desires for a fulfilling partnership.
When it comes to relationships, it's important to know what you want and need in order to find a fulfilling and happy partnership. This worksheet is designed to help you reflect on your relationship needs and desires. By asking yourself these questions, you can gain clarity on what you're looking for and use it as a guide in your current or future relationships.
What are your deal breakers?
Think about the things that are non-negotiable for you in a relationship. These might include things like cheating, dishonesty, or lack of communication. Write down your deal breakers so you can easily identify when a potential or current partner does not align with your values.
What are your non-negotiables?
Non-negotiables are things that you absolutely need in a relationship to feel fulfilled and happy. This might include qualities like kindness, empathy, or a shared sense of humour. Make a list of your non-negotiables and keep it in mind when dating. And if you’re already in a relationship, take time to communicate these to your partner in a gentle and loving way, and take steps to make the changes needed for you to feel more content and happy.
What are the values and qualities that are important to you in a partner?
Reflect on the values and qualities that are important to you in a partner. These might include things like loyalty, ambition, health, or a sense of adventure. Write them down and consider how they align with your own values and needs.
How can you practise more self-awareness in your relationships?
It's important to practise self-awareness in your relationships in order to identify your own needs and communicate them effectively to your partner. Think about ways you can become more self-aware, such as practising mindfulness or journaling.
How can you use this worksheet to guide your future dating experiences, or work on your current relationship?
Use this worksheet as a guide for future dating experiences. Or if you’re in a relationship, share your answers with your partner. Refer back to your list of deal breakers and non-negotiables throughout life (I guarantee they will change over time). Keep in mind the values and qualities that are important to you in a partner and communicate them effectively to ensure a fulfilling and happy relationship.
Remember, taking the time to reflect on your relationship needs can help you find a partner who aligns with your values and fulfils your desires. Use this worksheet as a tool to guide you in your journey towards a fulfilling and satisfying relationship.
