Anniversary Celebrations

NVC enriches my marriage

I wanted to share with you one of the beautiful things we did together to celebrate our anniversary. We spent some time sharing with each other what precious needs are met by our relationship. One by one we spoke of the needs like companionship, connection, trust, safety, touch, collaboration, nurture, beauty, acknowledgement, engagement, and support. And we remembered specific examples and events in our lives when those needs were met. It was such a satisfying way to acknowledge to each other the ways in which we value our relationship.

Using Nonviolent Communication principles helps us to maintain and nourish our relationship.
