8 Ways To Show Unconditional Love (3 of 5)

4. Don’t hold back

Having an open communication policy is a key to fostering unconditional love. When your partner sees that you feel comfortable speaking honestly with them, they develop trust in you and see that you truly value the relationship. We aren’t just referring to the “sunshine and rainbow” moments either. There will be some difficult conversations along the road. But allowing yourself to feel vulnerable while expressing your concerns and feelings will create the most amazingly deep, loving connection.

5. Forgive mistakes and move forward

Conflicts are going to happen even in the healthiest relationships. There will be times when they say something that you perceive as rude or insensitive, and it’s going to hurt your feelings. But immediately after, they’re going to feel really bad for failing to follow the mantra of “think before you speak.” Instead of holding a grudge, accept their apology. Forgiving them for their mistakes will give you a chance to heal and feel optimistic as a new day arrives.
