People who believe that their partner would do kind, loving actions actually noticed these types of actions more. Here's why that matters so much in a relationship, by DrHollyParker
Explanations differ on why relationship happiness is linked to awareness of the good things a partner does.
The idea with the most evidence was that a person’s beliefs impact what they notice their partner doing.Source: Jasmine Carter/Pexels, take a moment and think about how happy you are with your partner. Okay, now imagine the ways in which your partner is good to you and tends to your relationship.
They examined the connection between the beliefs people have about what they think their partner is going to do, what they actually noticed their partner doing, and fulfillment in the relationship. They were also able to see how people’s expectations and what they noticed stacked up against what they and their partners truly did for the relationship. To do this, the researchers created a list of specific actions that a person could recognize .
The researchers also found some evidence, albeit less, for the “reflection model.” This is the idea that how people feel in a relationship overall impacts what they believe their partner is going to do. In other words, people who were more content with their partner in general were more inclined to believe their partner would treat them well and behave in ways that would cultivate the relationship.
