How thoughtful gestures strengthen relationships

While speaking to Briefly News, certified relationship and founder of Engaged Humans, Paula Quinsee, shared how thoughtful gestures, like a lavish birthday surprise, can positively impact a relationship and strengthen emotional bonds between partners by saying:

"When it comes to gifts, particularly birthday gifts, it’s less about the lavishness and more about the intention behind the gift that gives it meaning and purpose. A well-thought-out gift that has a special significance or meaning (e.g. a heartfelt, handwritten letter) can have as much impact as an expensive gift."

She added that:

"Thoughtful gestures signal care, attention, and that one has really taken the time and effort to find something that really matters or will have a great impact. Surprises show your partner that you know them and want to do things that bring them joy. Positive surprises strengthen your relationship connection as you’re creating meaningful memories that benefit your relationship in difficult times."
