Why showing up for each other matters in a relationship

Building trust, closeness, and a solid foundation in a relationship requires both partners to physically and emotionally support one another. This creates a sense of connection and shared experience, which, in turn, makes the relationship more robust and satisfying.

According to Psychology Today, the various relationships and points of connection that create and maintain such relationships are strengthened and nourished by just being present and being perceived as such.
