Well, if it isn’t a fellow mental wellness enthusiast! Welcome! This is your daily dose of Selfpause. We are here to guide you today on a journey of discovery about relationships, self-esteem, and affirmations.

Here’s what’s in our plans for today:

• A study from 27 years ago (don’t worry, it’s still VERY relevant) showed the correlation between higher self-esteem and stronger relationships

• Now a very recent article (as of this month actually) talks about the importance of your self-esteem and the nature of your romantic relationships

• Since self-esteem seems to be the theme here today, we just so happen to have a few affirmations about that

Partner self-esteem support was related to higher levels of marital satisfaction and intimacy among couples when done properly

You know what they say, behind every successful marriage is a supportive spouse (or something like that). But does too much support actually hurt more than it helps? A study with over 250 married couples aimed to find out.

Here's what went down in the world of marital support:

👫 Participants completed a self-esteem scale and a spousal support scale (cue the ""awws"")

💕 Higher levels of spousal support were linked to higher levels of marital quality and stability for both men and women (yay for love!)

🤔 But, when wives perceived their partner's support as higher than their own self-esteem, it led to lower levels of satisfaction (oops)

😬 And for husbands, too much support led to lower levels of satisfaction and intimacy (double oops)

So, while support is important, it's all about finding that sweet spot where it boosts your self-esteem without making you feel like you're not living up to your partner's expectations. Keep that in mind next time you're giving (or receiving) some marital support. 💍

YOUR SELF-ESTEEM LEVEL COULD BE AFFECTING YOUR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS

Did you know that a lack of self-esteem affects the people you attract, the quality of your relationships, and your level of relationship satisfaction? Low self-esteem creates negative energies that influence perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, decisions, behaviors, and expectations in relationships.

Here’s what else:

1. People with low self-esteem view their relationships in black-and-white terms and experience insecurities and unpredictability, which affects the quality of intimacy.

2. Self-esteem is an overall evaluation or appraisal of one's own self-worth, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

3. Low self-esteem can be caused by poor body image, emotional issues, or past psychological abuse.

4. The key to building self-esteem is to find the root problems and effects of low self-esteem in one's life and address them.

5. Negative thoughts and beliefs contribute to low self-esteem and should be replaced with positive thoughts and attitudes.

6. Surrounding oneself with positive people and environments can help to rebuild self-esteem.

7. The ultimate decision to build up or tear down one's self-esteem is in their hands.
