The Best Way To Build An Adult Relationship

As we are meeting new people online or in real life, one of your goals is to enter into an adult relationship that’s mature and stable. Eventually, we hope that it will work out, and we end up with the person we are seeing. But, what we don’t realize is that we have to put in a lot of effort before we can get to our end goal.

An Adult Relationship Is Built Using Binocular Vision

Have you ever used binoculars before? There are two eye holes, but the person using it essentially sees just one picture through the binoculars. Think of the eye holes as perspectives. You have your perspective on the left and your partner’s perspective on the right.

The two of you may have a different perspective on certain situations. But, Binocular vision is the ability to hold your partner’s perspective alongside your own. It’s like seeing yourself through your partner’s eye without giving up or changing your own perspective.

How Binocular Perspective Can Help

So, how does binocular vision help? Learning or improving this skill will give your relationship a lot of benefits. For one, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your partner because you see things from his or her point of view.

You’ll also gain the ability to look at the bigger picture. Your partner’s perspective is just one piece of the equation. You have to factor in your own perspective so both are summed up into one picture as a whole. You can do this in the following ways:

• When your partner makes a mistake, don’t blow the top of your head right away. Try to understand why your partner made the mistake and then go from there.
• Be open about how you feel. When you are open, it’s likely that your partner will be too. This will improve your communication.
• Learn to read your partner’s reactions. The more years you are with your partner, the better you should be at reading his or her actions.
