The Desirability Factor

Being wanted matters as much as wanting. When your partner stops making you feel attractive — stops noticing your effort, stops initiating, stops expressing desire — you don't just feel unwanted. You feel invisible.

Tell your partner they're attractive — not generically but specifically. Notice the haircut. Comment on how they look when they're focused. The words "I want you" are a complete sentence and a powerful thing to say to a long-term partner.
